In the past speed sailing has received only a small bit of recognition and a smaller part of the manufacturers developing products geared toward the avid speed sailor. Most of the products on the market are either wave or course/slalom oriented. I understand that speed sailors are a small part of the fleet, but those that have chosen to go down that road are a passionate bunch. It was to fulfill my passion for speed sailing that got me involved with fin design and manufacturing.
There are many styles and manufactures of windsurfing fins to choose from, all of which offer a good mid-priced fin for the casual sailor. I am not the casual sailor, my fin designs are geared toward the upper limits of board speed and the control factors needed to maintain that speed. A.C.D. fins are produced from the most advanced aerospace fabrics and resins, using the latest technologies available. Compromising quality for cost is not even considered. They are made to meet my very demanding standards, as if I personally was going to have to use every one of them. I understand that these fins are not for everyone. I firmly believe however that if you want to go a step above the mass produced G-10 fins, but don t want to or can't afford to spend $250-$280 for a custom shaped fin, that A.C.D. fins can fill that void in quality and design. It is only after many field tests and a unanimous consensus that these fins do what they are supposed to, that I am putting this web site together for the rest of the windsurfing world. My goal in starting this company is the same as it has always been regarding this great sport. That is to promote the sport of windsurfing and the dissemination of factual information free of advertising hype regarding the equipment we use. It is to that end that I invite the correction of anything we publish. We will gladly publish articles by others regarding pertinent subject matter free of brand names or advertising hype. The truth should be a good enough guide for the consumer who if factually informed, is perfectly capable of making an informed decision. This has always been my attitude and I believe is the greatest type of promotion for this good and perfect sport.
