Originally developed by George Greenough in the late '60s, the Stage III ushered in a new era of longboard surfing.
Développée à l'origine par George Greenough à la fin des années 60, la Stage III a ouvert une nouvelle ère du surf en longboard. Ce template est issu de l'une des dérives Wave Set d'origine, modifiée pour entrer dans un boîtier de dérive standard. La Stage III est conçue pour offrir à la fois de l'accroche et du release – la combinaison ultime ! *Notez que cette dérive occupe toute la longueur du boîtier et n'autorise ni réglage ni nœud de leash.
Forme | Une grande dérive verticale, avec une base large et un rake modéré
Fonction | De la relance en abondance, un mélange d'accroche et de release pour un vrai surf rail to rail
Sensation | Réactive, libre et libératrice, tout en offrant beaucoup de relance et de tenue quand il le faut
En résumé | La version True Ames de la classique dérive Wave-Set en plastique moulé. Désormais disponible en construction fibre de verre pleine et conçue pour s'adapter au boîtier de dérive moderne
It blends hold and release for genuine rail-to-rail turns, and it suits the longboarder who wants the board to feel lively rather than parked — the base and rake give drive and hold, while the upright shape and tip keep it loose and responsive.
Put it on a classic or performance log when you want to surf rail to rail and turn off the tail, not just noseride — it still finds clean trim and nose time, which is exactly its reason for existing. If locked-in nose time on a heavy log is the priority, the Heritage is steadier, and note this fin fills the whole box, so no leash knot and no position adjustment.
The Stage III is a large, upright longboard single fin built by True Ames from one of George Greenough's original late-1960s Wave Set templates, modified to fit a standard fin box. The outline is tall and upright with a wide base and moderate rake, and it comes in two sizes, 9.75" and 10.5". The fin runs the full length of the box, leaving no room for a leash knot or fore-aft position adjustment. It is intended for classic and performance longboards.
Mentioned in the review — Heritage · Greenough 4A — not something we carry.
Volan is a woven fiberglass cloth laid by hand and finished with a resin that cures to a warm amber tint. It flexes differently than solid fiberglass — more spring, more life, more feel through turns. Where solid glass is stiff and direct, volan breathes with the wave.
The hand-laid process means each fin has subtle texture and character. It's heavier, which adds momentum through flat sections. Surfers who ride volan describe it as "warmer" — the fin does more of the work, trimming and holding without demanding constant input.
