Fins, socks, and fin savers are essential accessories for any water enthusiast. These products are designed to provide both functionality and durability, making every water adventure smoother and more enjoyable. To keep your gear safe and dry, consider putting them in dry bags.
Every seasoned water lover knows the sting of a lost fin mid-surf or the slow wear of salty neoprene. But fear not, there’s a solution at hand! Long Reef Surf Co’s Fins Socks & Fin Savers collection is here to help you hold onto your gear—and your comfort.
These accessories might be small, but they punch well above their weight. Socks keep feet blister-free, adding a snug, chafe-resistant layer between skin and rubber. Perfect for long sessions, rocky entries, or colder waters, they're made from soft, flexible materials that move with your feet, not against them. And let’s be honest—they also make slipping into your fins a breeze.
Then there’s the game-changing genius of fin savers. These little heroes attach to your ankle and ensure your fins don’t get swallowed by the ocean. Crafted from tough-as-nails Velcro and elasticised cords, they're built to endure strong currents and sudden wipeouts. Available in multiple sizes and colours, they add peace of mind to any dive, swim, or bodysurf adventure. Looking for new fins to go with your Fins Socks & Fin Savers?

What sets Long Reef apart is our commitment to gear that lasts. These Fins Socks & Fin Savers are tested in Australian surf conditions—meaning they’ve endured reef scrapes, shore breaks and sandy exits. You can trust them to hold up.
Fin socks are worn inside swim fins or surf flippers to improve comfort and reduce friction. They create a soft barrier between your skin and the rubber foot pocket, helping prevent blisters and chafing during long bodyboarding, bodysurfing, or swimming sessions.
While not essential, fin socks can make a big difference in comfort. Many surfers and bodyboarders use them to avoid rubbing from tight fins, especially during long sessions or when swimming in colder water.
Fin savers are ankle straps that attach to your fins to prevent them from being lost in the surf. If a fin slips off during a wipeout or heavy wave, the strap keeps it attached to your ankle so it doesn’t disappear underwater.
Most bodyboarders use fin savers because strong waves can easily pull fins off your feet. They’re a simple and affordable way to protect your gear and avoid losing fins in the surf.
