Design
The Tinder-D8 CSE features a rounded square tail with the option of a quad or thruster fin setup. Its single concave from the mid-section through to a double concave out the fins, combined with a flatter rocker, ensures you get down the line fast, stay in the pocket, and enhance your maneuvers.

Fins
Each Tinder-D8 CSE comes equipped with 5 FTU fin boxes (compatible with Futures® Fins), allowing you to ride it as a quad or thruster (fins not included). The Elements and Protech versions come with MFC-designed fins.

Who's the Tinder-D8 CSE For?
This board is another chapter in NSP's high-performance shortboard lineup, offering accessible shortboard performance by incorporating key hybrid shape elements. With more volume than the Chopstix, especially in the nose, the Tinder-D8 CSE makes paddling easier and helps you catch more waves, ensuring you enjoy every session. The tail offers balance and speed, thanks to a flatter rocker.

Fin Cluster
The 5-slot fin cluster allows for fine-tuning and different setups with FTU-compatible boxes, providing versatility to match various wave conditions and riding styles.
