True Ames Greenough 4C Fin 9.5"
Introducing the True Ames Greenough 4C Fin 9.5", a quintessential addition to the longboard enthusiast's collection. This fin is steeped in the rich heritage of surf innovation, crafted by the legendary George Greenough. Renowned for his contributions to wave-riding performance since the 1960s, Greenough's pioneering spirit has shaped modern surfing techniques.
The Greenough 4-C stands as a testament to his vision, combining a semi-pivot template with a refined silhouette that reduces surface area. This meticulously designed fin promotes higher manoeuvrability and speed, allowing surfers to engage with the wave's more critical zones effortlessly. Its solid fiberglass construction and elegant flat matte finish ensure durability and aesthetics alike, while the striking green hue pays homage to the ocean's vibrancy.
Ideal for all types of longboards, the Greenough 4-C represents not just a fin, but a commitment to advancing your surfing experience. Embark on a journey of performance and style with this exceptional piece of surf heritage.
The Greenough 4-C is one of the most classic, fundamental single fin designs for a longboard...ever! The man behind this revolutionary fin is George Greenough, whom the surf world is forever indebted to for his wave-riding performance innovations beginning in the 60's. Greenough paved the way from traditional logging to more progressive surfing in the pocket through the development of his Velo-Spoon kneeboard designs. To complement his kneeboards, Greenough found inspiration from mother nature for his fin templates through studying the tail fins of tuna-one of the fastest and most maneuverable fish in the ocean. The subsequent high-aspect ratio design he created allowed surfers to place themselves in more critical parts of the wave and execute more radical turns; and it ultimately ushered in a new era of high performance capability. The 4-C is a direct descendant of Greenough's "Stage 4" tuna fin-inspired designs from the early '70s; this iteration was conceived earlier on in the evolution of the Greenough and True Ames collaboration that ultimately led to the 4-A. The 4-C template represents the first step taken in the move away from a traditional pivot fin. Greenough kept the upright nature and minimal rake of a pivot fin, but shaved off a considerable amount of surface area in pursuit of a more high-aspect ratio design. This translates to a higher performance fin that is even more maneuverable, and faster down the line with less drag.
Unique design: semi-pivot template but with less area. Works great on all types of longboards. Solid fiberglass construction, flat matte finish.
