Hold fins, made from surfboard offcuts and wool.
Hold turns surfboard waste and natural fibres into high-performance fins, handmade in the UK.
Hold, from Whitburn Studio.
Every surfboard leaves waste behind. Fibreglass trimmed from rails, offcuts from laps, material that would usually go straight in the bin.
Hold, a Whitburn Studio innovation, takes that waste and turns it into surfboard fins made to be ridden, repaired and kept in use.
The fins use reclaimed surfboard glass, natural fibres such as wool, and plant-based epoxy. They are built to perform, made to order, and visually unique because the fibres and waste material never land in exactly the same way twice.
Waste fibres, built into fins.
Depending on the fin, Hold can use reclaimed surfboard glass, natural wool and other recycled or naturally derived fibres.
The point is practical: keep useful material in circulation and make fins with enough strength, flex and character to stay in the water.
Useful waste stays useful when the fin still feels right in the water.
