Yoshinori Ueda, also known as Y.U, played a pivotal role in the era and heyday of the Lightning Bolt brand through shaping and making these boards available to the public in Japan.
Yoshinori Ueda, auch bekannt als Y.U, spielte in der Blütezeit der Marke Lightning Bolt eine Schlüsselrolle: Er shapte diese Boards und machte sie in Japan öffentlich zugänglich. Y.U's 70's Model ist eine Verbeugung vor den Designs, der Ästhetik und der Art zu surfen, die in dieser ikonischen Ära unseres Sports entstanden. Die Finne hat eine breite Basis, ein eher aufrechtes Template und eine schmalere Spitze, was gut zu Pintails, Rounded Pins oder jedem schmaleren Singlefin passt, der etwas Saft verträgt. Sie gibt Halt, wo du ihn brauchst, und pivotorientierte Turns – und wenn du mitten im Bottom Turn die Augen schließt, versetzt sie dich vielleicht zurück in die goldene Ära.
It is a tribute to the surfing that came out of the early-to-mid 70's: a wide base for hold and grip down low, feeding an upright template that keeps the turning radius tight rather than drawn out.
True Ames points it specifically at pintails and rounded pins — the boards that want a fin with some authority but not a lot of trailing area dragging the tail around.
Put it on a narrow-tailed single fin — a pintail or rounded pin in the seven-foot range — and surf it off the tail: it holds your line through steep sections and pivots off the back foot instead of waiting out a long arc. It is not for fuller logs; if you want planted-tail trim on a wider noserider, the Yater Pivot or Velzy Classic are calmer choices.
The YU 70's Model is a single fin by Yoshinori Ueda, made by True Ames, built around the narrow-template surfing of the early-to-mid 1970s shortboard transition era. The outline runs a wide base into a somewhat upright template that pulls into a narrow tip. It comes in two sizes, 7.25" and 7.75", and is intended for pintails, rounded pins, and other pulled-in single-fin boards.
For a wider noserider wanting planted-tail trim, the review says the Yater Pivot gives more straight-line hold and a calmer tail.
Like the Yater Pivot, the Velzy Classic is suggested for fuller boards that want more straight-line hold rather than back-foot pivot.
From the same shaper, the review recommends the YU Freedom for fuller boards wanting a more all-around hold-and-drive feel.
