As soon as the Zigfin Patent was released the Big wave community got wind of the extra traction concept and legendary charger Brent Symes went down as the first man in history to ride Peahi on a 5plus fin set up at the Peahi Challenge in the first massive swell of the hawaiin winter. In the howling offshore and 30ft plus faces Brent found the extra holding in a must have for big wave riding.
Since the big wave community has taken to the little fins for the added traction without sacrificing speed!
