True Ames Fantastic Acid Vee Bottom (Volan) pinna surf
Introducing the V-Raked fin, a design by Tristan Mausse, the shaper behind the Fantastic Acid label.
La pinna
Ecco la V-Raked, un design di Tristan Mausse, lo shaper dietro l'etichetta Fantastic Acid. Questa pinna è un omaggio alle Wave Set degli anni '60, con foil, flex e materiale aggiornati. La base da 9.25" è la larghezza massima compatibile con un box pinna standard, e permette alla V-Raked di restare fedele alle sue origini Wave Set. Il suo sweep marcato e la base larga la rendono ideale per le tavole con bottom a vee, le surf craft dell'era di transizione e i log più sensibili. Con la V-Raked puoi aspettarti una proiezione piena in uscita dalle curve e una tenuta eccezionale in pocket.

Specifiche
Volan fins flex more from the body of the fin, which produces increased speed and projection off the bottom and through turns. On a hull, that body flex is exactly what loads up and springs you down the line.
The V-Raked design pays homage to the Wave Set fins of the 60s, and the partnership with Fantastic Acid was meant to give his epic hull shapes the volan fins they deserve.
Run it on a displacement hull, vee-bottom, or sensitive log where you want smooth, springy, drawn-out drive down the line rather than tight pivots off the tail. For planted noseriding on a heavy log the D-2 is the move instead.
The Fantastic Acid Vee Bottom is a V-raked single fin designed by Tristan Mausse of Fantastic Acid, who builds displacement hulls under that label, and made by True Ames in volan construction. The outline references the Wave Set fins of the 1960s with an updated foil and flex. Volan is a heavier, denser weave than standard fiberglass that flexes from the body of the fin. It is intended for displacement hulls, vee-bottom and transition-era boards, and more sensitive logs.
