Race Division Katana 2.0 Carbon Fin
The Katana 2.0 is our race-tuned center fin. 9.5 inches deep, 229 cm² of surface, 30T pre-preg carbon. Built for paddlers who want speed without sacrificing control on water that isn't glassy.
The 9.5-inch depth is intentional. Most race fins shrink to chase low drag, then fall apart in chop or wake. The Katana keeps the depth so you stay tracking when conditions turn messy. Less correction means more forward projection. Every watt of paddling effort goes into speed instead of fixing your line.
It pairs with the AXIS, Elysium Air, Mad Max, and Paradise X. Ships in a padded travel bag with the fin screw and washer. If you're chasing podium times, or you're just tired of correcting your course every other stroke, the Katana 2.0 is the upgrade.
