FINS, FINS, FINS…..

Just a few of our selection here at True Ames

Check out the site for our full selection and latest products.

This morning, under the variable clouds of a thousand fractions of
sky, perched on the dented hoods of cars domestic to a hundred
countries, we are looking at the same waves we looked at yesterday.
As the other 99.9% of surfers, we’ve cheated, become infidels to the
savagely nomadic wavesledder wed to our minds long ago. We’ve
instead become frontiersman of our own backyards, cartographers
to an infinity of patterns across the wave faces we know best. For
over 30 years at True Ames, we’ve forged enterprise and folk science
from our desire to redesign these lines in as many languages as we
can learn. Faster. Stronger. Lighter. Stranger. Each member of
our little family of designs is an opportunity for reinventing our
turns and reliving old ones, this time with a little magic, and next
time with a little more. Enjoy.

George Greenough Fins by: True Ames

Amidst his wind generators, blue ocean boats, and camera housings, George Greenough had enough energy to revolutionize fin design. A seed of the revolution, the 4-A has a narrow, flexible tip that enhances maneuverability and a flared base for increased stability and drive — an ideal combination for the point surf George fancied.

Check out our selection of George Greenough surf fins.

Greenough Stage 6
George Greenough’s close friends know that the only thing that kept the budding ex-patriot in California was his interest in windsurfing, which spawned the Stage 6. While George found the combination of a ‘stiff leg’ and ‘active paddle’ to generate powerful turns, we also find the bigger sizes to be powerful on the tip.

Greenough 4C

Taking cues from the pattern of human evolution, George’s templates found it adaptive to become less wild and more upright, resulting in the birth of a new species. The 4C shares the 4A’s mild tip flex, but it has less rake and base, permitting mid-length eggs and logs a lower radius, looser turn.
