True Ames 9.25" Skip Frye Single Fin – Minimalist Performance, Maximum Flow
Designed by San Diego surf legend Skip Frye, the True Ames 9.25" Single Fin embodies the essence of pure, graceful surfing. With its clean lines, modest rake, and smooth flex profile, this fin is all about achieving that perfect trim, minimizing drag, and letting your board glide effortlessly across the wave face. Built for midlengths, gliders, and classic planing shapes, this is the fin for surfers who want to channel timeless style and soulful control.
Skip Frye’s Signature Simplicity
Originally developed in the mid-1970s, Skip Frye's single fin design was created to complement his signature boards—such as his iconic Eggs and Gliders. This 9.25" version brings a minimalist silhouette with just enough rake and medium flex to enable smooth rail transitions and subtle adjustments while trimming. It’s about effortless movement, not forced turns.
Engineered for Flow, Trim, and Feel
The Skip Frye 9.25" fin excels on thinner planing hulls, pinched rail boards, and midlengths with long outlines where the rail does the heavy lifting. Whether you're riding it as a single fin or combining it in a 2+1 setup, it enhances down-the-line speed and stability while preserving the subtle nuances of traditional single-fin surfing.
