Shawn Stussy's Hitch Hiker trailer fin, Futures compatible solid fiberglass in smoke or light purple.
Shawn Stussy's Hitch Hiker trailer fin, Futures compatible solid fiberglass in smoke or light purple.
A trailer is the small fin that turns a twin into a 2+1 — or adds a little tail hold to a single. It is not there to steer; it is there to stop the tail sliding out further than you asked.
Stussy's template is short and wide-based — it adds tail hold without the drag a taller trailer brings, which suits a fish that is already fast enough.

A twin plus trailer setup feels faster and looser than a thruster.
Pair it behind the Roots Twin to add stability or to charge bigger waves.
Run the Futures Hitch Hiker behind a Futures-box twin you want to settle down for bigger or steeper days, or behind a thruster you want looser. It tightens the tail rather than anchoring it; if you want a true 2+1 center fin, go to a smaller Yater Classic, and FCS boards need the FCS version.
The Stussy Hitch Hiker is a trailer fin designed by Shawn Stussy and made by True Ames in solid fiberglass, here with a Futures-compatible base; an FCS version is also made. The template is low and wide-based with more base than height, in one size. It was built as the companion to Stussy's Roots Twin and mounts in a center box behind a twin set or a thruster cluster.
The same trailer template with an FCS base for boards with FCS center boxes.
A 6.5" to 7.0" Yater Classic is the move when you want a true 2+1 center fin rather than a trailer.
The twin this trailer was sized to sit behind and settle down.
