Testimonials and Collaborators
Kelly Slater
“Soar have made me a few sets over the years and they’ve always done a great job.
I’m super into tuning up my fins and was surprised to find there was rarely anything I could add to what I had ordered.
Quality work!”
Mark Richards
“I’ve been using Greg Trotter’s SOAR fibreglass fins in my Retro Series surfboards for… I can’t even remember how many, but a lot of years now!
He’s been making me traditional glass-on Twin and Single fins from my original 1970’s and 1980’s templates.
The fins are light, strong and have perfectly foiled flex patterns.
The quality of SOAR glass-on fins is unsurpassed.”
Keyo International
“At Keyo we pride ourselves on making quality surfboards and there is no doubt the addition of a Soar Fin really is the icing on the cake.
The combination just works. Our team riders know and feel the difference and so will you.
We love working with Greg and Izumi."

Mackie Designs
“As far as fin makers go, Greg Trotter is at the top of his field. His knowledge of fin making is only backed up by his years in the surfboard manufacture scene, shaping boards for some of Australia’s best.
I have been getting fins from Soar Fin since 1990 which at the time we’re ahead of the pack and with a great selection to choose from."

Miller Surfboards Australia
I have been associated with Greg Trotter and Soar fins for almost 20 years. In 2020 I decided to contract with Greg to supply me with fins for my 2+1 surfboard models including the SUBX. I spent some time with him getting the specs exactly as I wanted them, and was very impressed with his attention to detail.
The fins he has made for me are beautiful. He achieves extremely high levels of accuracy and the finish is superb. Greg is perhaps the finest fin maker in Australia. I highly recommend Soar Fins to those seeking a top shelf product.

Bourton Shapes
In this day and age where almost 80% of our manufactured good come out of China, it is good to see small businesses here in Aus specialising and making even better products that are not necessarily driven by price.
His knowledge in hydro-dynamics can be seen and felt in the state of the art foils he designs into his fins. I have always said that a fin is at least 30% of the feel of a surfboard and can make all the difference!
Soar fins has a loyal market of long-time, well-known surfboard makers that have known Greg for over 40 years and his dedication to quality products. Put your faith in Aussie know-how, ride his fins, and you will never look back!
