If you’re needing some new fins this spring, check out Malwitz Surfboard’s handmade wooden fin collection. Support a craft handed down through generations (read below) and support Sandy recovery – 100% of proceeds are donated.

“The past 5 years my grandfather, who was a master woodworker, had been making me wooden fin blanks that I would cut and foil. The fins took on the name Pop Fins. I spent my whole life learning woodworking in his shop little bits at a time. He spent the last few years teaching me his fin blank process. Last year, at 90 years old, he passed away. I inherited many of his tools and decided to continue offering and making them in his honor. When Sandy came I wanted to do something and thought of giving away fins. I know it is something Pop would have enjoyed helping out with. I was able to raise some quick money I handed out to directly to a few who needed it or were part of the cleanup for supplies. It wasn’t a great deal of money but I felt if we all did a little it becomes alot.
