Churchill Fins Makapuu Pro 3.0 - Malaysian Rubber - Black // Orange

Churchill Makapuu Pro 3.0 Flippers - The Original Swimfin's. Made in Malaysia.
The iconic Churchill® Makapuu® PRO is the highest-performance fin in the Churchill lineup, built for experienced bodyboarders, bodysurfers, and watermen who demand maximum power, speed, and control in heavy surf. Inspired by Owen Churchill’s original swimfin design first developed for the U.S. Navy in 1936, the Makapuu® PRO combines nearly 90 years of performance heritage with advanced modern upgrades engineered for serious riders.

Designed with reinforced stiff blade rails and the patented Dolphin Tail split-blade design, the Makapuu® PRO channels more water with every kick to generate explosive acceleration, faster wave entry, stronger projection, and maximum thrust with less wasted energy. Whether paddling into heavy waves or driving through critical sections, the PRO delivers the most propulsion of any fin in the Churchill lineup.

Manufactured in Malaysia using 100% premium Malaysian natural rubber, the Makapuu® PRO delivers the perfect balance of stiffness for power and flex for comfort, while maintaining long-lasting durability and natural flex that synthetic alternatives can’t match. The updated 2026 mold also introduces enhanced comfort upgrades including rounded heel strap edges, smoother drainage detailing, and a softer foot pocket designed to reduce irritation and improve fit during long sessions in the water.

Complete with fin tethers and ankle straps for added security in powerful surf conditions, the Makapuu® PRO is built for riders who push hard and expect elite-level performance every session.
