FCS Danny Ching 9” Fin Designed by World Champion—and new dad—Danny Ching, this race fin is lightweight, stiff, and built with carbon skin UL construction. Dad will feel like he’s channeling the champion himself when paddling with the race fin in, as it offers excellent tracking and allows increased strokes on each side. With Ching’s fin, dad can still whip a clean buoy-turn and surf in course racing conditions too. Specifications: base: 7.70″ / 195mm; depth: 8.64″ / 219mm; area: 44.10″² / 28451mm²; sweep: 27.3º; foil: 50/50. $130, surffcs.com

The outsole grip keeps your old guy from slipping on wet surfaces, while the anatomically molded footbed helps his hooves stay comfortable pre- or post-paddle, and, the vegan aspect doesn’t hurt either. $80, olukai.com
