How to Choose Your Yucca Fins

jeudi 6 août 2026 |

Yucca Fins are back at Bodyboard Center with a selection of Short BladesLong Blades, four flex options, new colourways and a brand-new addition: Yucca Surf Mats.

Bodyboarding, bodysurfing, surf mat riding or ocean swimming: here are the main differences to help you choose the Yucca fins that best match your activity and the feel you are looking for.

Yucca Short Blade or Long Blade?

Blade length directly affects propulsion, kicking speed and manoeuvrability.

Short Blade: control and responsiveness

More compact and manoeuvrable, Yucca Short Blades allow for faster kicking and an immediate response.

They are particularly well suited to bodyboarding, bodysurfing, shorebreaks and surf mat riding. Their shorter shape makes acceleration, direction changes and fast-paced sessions easier.

Long Blade: power and propulsion

Yucca Long Blades feature a longer blade designed to generate more propulsion with every kick.

They are ideal for covering longer distances, getting through the break in powerful conditions or producing greater thrust when catching a wave.

The Four Yucca Flex Options

Yucca offers four flex levels, from the softest to the stiffest.

Ultra Soft Flex

The softest and most comfortable flex. It helps reduce fatigue and is ideal for long sessions, younger riders or anyone looking for minimal resistance.

Soft Flex

The most versatile option. It provides a good balance of comfort, control and propulsion for regular bodyboarding or bodysurfing sessions.

Super Flex

Super Flex combines a soft foot pocket with stiffer rails. It provides more drive and responsiveness while maintaining a good level of comfort.

Standard Flex

The stiffest and most powerful flex. It offers a very direct response but requires more strength. It is mainly suited to experienced riders and those who are used to firmer fins.

Which Setup Should You Choose?

For an all-round setup, a Short Blade in Soft Flex will suit most riders.

Choose a Short Blade for greater manoeuvrability and a faster kicking rhythm, or a Long Blade for increased thrust and propulsion.

For the flex, choose Ultra Soft or Soft for comfort, Super for a balance of comfort and performance, and Standard for a more powerful and direct response.

New: Yucca Surf Mats

The Yucca Surf Mat has also arrived at Bodyboard Center.

Soft, inflatable and ultra-lightweight, it offers a different way to ride waves, with a direct feel and a strong connection to the water.

Easy to carry and fun even in smaller conditions, it can be used with Yucca Short Blades or Long Blades for greater speed and control.
