Phil Way from Fluid Foils stated that there fins "are hand foiled from a panel of fibre glass. They are individually marked out and cut to shape then the foil of the fin is sanded into shape using a couple of different sanders and various types of sandpaper. This is all done by hand and eye so each fin is completely hand crafted to create a controlled flex and responsive fin to help lift the performance of your surfboard".
