Sixx Industries A6 Fins

June 11, 2014

The A6 fin aka Purple Pinky is designed to work with a wakesurf skim board that runs 1/2” Futures Fin boxes.  It will work any any board that has their boxes. The reason designers Nick Scott and Aaron Witherell designed a new skim fin was to create a longer more skim like fin but still use Futures boxes.  The fin is a mix between a traditional skim fin and a Twin Keel fin design.  Mixing the two fins allowed them to install the Purple Pinky into any skim running the Futures Box and gave them the needed length they were looking for out of a skim fin designed for that box.  It provides better control and stability riding and doing revert riding tricks. Until now no other skim fin was really designed for wakesurfing skim style.  When Nick designed his first skim shapes in 2012 Aaron and him planned to build skims with the Futures 1/2" boxes and use their TMF-1 fin for the time being and then would later work on a skim fin designed for what they wanted. It took them a year of designing and testing their ideas but it finally paid off.  Teaming up with Futures Fins was awesome they were stoked to work with Nick and Aaron on their design and made it happen for them.  The very first wakesurf fin designed by true wakesurfers from the Northwest in Boise, Idaho and Sequim, Washington. Just another step up in progression and innovation for the wakesurfng industry. The sport they love to push to the next level. 

There are 3 options offered when buying a A6 skim fin “Purple Pinky."  Burlap Fin Sack Pacakge ($30), Clear Tube Package ($35), or Purple Pinky Fin Sack Package ($35). The Purple Pinky has a Honey Comb construction and a signature Purple Tint to it.

The cool thing about this product is that Nick and Aaron did this to raise money to fund their summer trips they call the Van Days of Summer Tour.  #VDST  this way they can sell the fins on the road at other lakes around the country and post about their trip this summer to lakes and comps.  A bunch of wakesurf riders crammed into a old school RV van living the dream one lake at a time.
