Waves On The Horizon

Amazing photos from Birmingham, Alabama last week.  These types of "wave clouds" are called Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds and develop due to differentials in shearing wind speeds at higher levels.   I just had to share.

New Offerings from True Ames

Some recent fin offerings from True Ames:

Smith/Parrish Full Base Single Fin for 2 + 1 Setups.   Comes in 6.5", 7" and 7.5"

 Channel Islands Twin + Trailer

This is the original template for the CI twin fin dating back to the early 1980’s. It is a looser twin when compared to the Mark Richards style twin. This design, when hooked up with a small trailing center fin, makes a great loose feeling thruster. You will feel the speed of a twin-fin along with positive drive of a tri-fin. The foil on these fins is a one side (flat) classic twin fin foil.

Channel Islands finger fin.

Great alternative center fin for any application. Less area throughout while maintaining some depth.
This is the fin that hooks up with the channel islands twin fin to make the “twin finner”.  Available Separately

Mini Center Trailer Fin

This is a one of a kind center trailer fin design for either a 5th center fin or even a center trailer fin in a tri-fin setup. Loosen up that 5 fin or make your tri fin ride completely different. This unique FCS compatible fin has only one tab for versatility, slide it up to the front tab or keep in on the back tab for a bit more drive. Ultra thin foil section = less drag, more speed.

 

 New Quad Set from South Coast Surfboards

Get ready to go faster than ever with this setup. Close base to height ratio. 80/20 foil on front fins. The back fins are a symmetrical foil. These are designed for longboards. Try out a set for yourself, see what you think.

 Timmy Patterson Bamboo Tri-Fin Set

High rake and lots of area throughout, favors bigger riders and power surfers. All 3 fins are the same size and originate from the glass-on fins often used by the pros. These fins are designed for the peeling right-handers at Rincon and beyond.

Parrish Single Fin - Classic Hawaiin 70's Era Single Fin.  One size - 7.5"
