Kick-up rudder blade size #1 – used on racing K-1’s. For any less race-oriented boat, a size two or higher is recommended.
Kick-up rudder blade size #2 – used for K-2 or touring K-1
Kick-up rudder blade size #3 – used on our Mohican & surf skis
Our size three blade is the perfect fit for our Mohican, an Epic V10, or an Epic V12. We find that a size three blade is a good compromise between turning agility and drag at most speeds. If a surfski paddler is more concerned about maximum control at slow speeds and in sdverse conditions, a size four or larger (special order) fin may be required.
Kick-up rudder blade size #4 – extra slow speed control
We recommend this size four blade for surfski and Mohican paddlers that favor more steering control and roll stability. The size four blade is slightly oversized for an Epic V10 or Vand Dusen Mohican, and a higher performing option for a touring kayak.
