That structure gives the fin a firm, direct response. On a wave, the rails grip the face and keep your legs from sliding down it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the PF1 lets its rail flow into the blade, the PF2 carries vertical rails right to the edge, making it the firmest of the three. Where the PF3 uses an asymmetric blade and pocket, the PF2 keeps both symmetric, so the load spreads evenly across the fin. Riders and swimmers who want the same predictable response on every kick choose the PF2 for exactly that reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn collaboration with our rubber factory, POD was the first to introduce \u003cstrong\u003evariegated colour straps and rails\u003c\/strong\u003e.
