True Ames fins are the FIN for longboarders, with many classic pioneers of surfing contributing their designs to the True Ames catalogue.
A single fin designed by one of the greatest surfboard craftsmen of all time… Need we say more? Straight forward, clean lines, and classic curves are the name of the game here.
An iconic figure in San Diego surf culture, Skip Frye is an accomplished surfer well known for his silky smooth style as well as his innovative and unique designs. Devised in the mid ‘70s, Skip’s single fin was developed to perform and excel in a supporting role for some of the boards he’s best known for such as his Eggs and Gliders. Minimalistic and pure, this fin lends itself to fluid and graceful surfing.
If you want to follow in Skip’s footsteps and search for that ultimate trim, minimize drag, increase speed, and let the board do the talking…Then this is the fin for you.
- Slight / minimal rake and medium flex
- Can be used as a single fin or also works great in a 2+1
- Pairs well with mid-lengths, thinner planing-type boards, or shapes that rely on pinched rails or long rail lines to do the heavy lifting
- Solid fiberglass construction, flat matte finish
