Padded fins are final sale. Ordering multiple pairs of fins? Tell us which one(s) need padding in the order notes.

This fin was designed with the Yucca Fins "intern," Will Budge, using real-world feedback from time spent in the ocean to dial in performance, comfort, and control. 

The Short Blade Soft Flex Fin is designed for everyday ocean use, bodysurfing, and all-around swimming in all conditions. It delivers easy, efficient propulsion with a soft, forgiving feel, featuring a soft top and bottom foot pocket for maximum comfort over long sessions. Soft Flex is our most accessible flex, built for comfort, ease of kick, and low fatigue. It’s the right choice for most swimmers and ideal for those who want a relaxed, forgiving ride in the ocean. The Short Blade design keeps things quick and responsive in the water, while the Soft Flex prioritizes comfort and ease over maximum power output. Choose Long Blade Soft Flex if you want more thrust per kick and improved efficiency over longer distance swimming.

BEST FOR:

  • Everyday ocean swimming and bodysurfing
  • Small to moderate surf conditions
  • Long, relaxed sessions in the water
  • Beginner to intermediate swimmers (great for just about everyone!)
  • Riders prioritizing comfort and ease of use

Yucca Fins were born from necessity. When Sean Starky couldn’t find fins with the right balance of flex, comfort, and power, he made his own. Yucca Fins are built to move with you—fast, responsive, and reliable in any conditions.

  • Premium Malaysian Rubber – Durable, comfortable, and tuned for powerful thrust across long sessions.
  • Anatomical Foot Pocket – Ergonomic, blister-free fit that moves naturally with your foot to reduce fatigue.
  • Symmetrical Design – No left/right confusion—grab and go (lifeguard approved).
  • Angled Side Rails – Channels water for increased drive, control, and stability in all conditions.
  • Multiple Flex Options – Standard, Soft, Super, and Ultra Soft compounds for customized power and comfort.
  • Buoyant Construction – Floats for easy retrieval in heavy surf.
  • Drainage Holes - Trapped water won't weigh your fin down.
  • Traction - Textured "+" pattern on the base keeps your feet planted, even when it's wet.
