A three-fin set drawn by Matt Parker of Album Surfboards for goofy-foot asymmetrical boards β one large toe-side fin and two smaller heel-side fins.
Sold as a set of three in solid fiberglass, FCS compatible, in black. An asymmetrical board has a different rail and a different tail on each side, so this set answers with different fins on each side instead of a mirrored pair: one big fin on the toe side, two small ones on the heel side. It is stance-specific β this is the goofy-foot layout, and the fins are not interchangeable from one rail to the other. Album and True Ames developed and tested it together.
The toe side is where a turn is driven from, so the single large fin goes there β base and area enough to hold a bottom turn and project out of it. The heel side does the tighter redirects, and gets two smaller fins instead: less area concentrated in any one place, so the tail comes round quickly and lets go when asked. Both rails stay engaged through the transition, which is the whole point of an asym.
Asymmetrical boards built around a goofy-foot stance, with the three-plug layout to match. Surfers who ride one direction most of the time and want each rail set up for the job it actually does β driving off the bottom on one side, turning tight off the top on the other β rather than a compromise shared between them.
The larger toe-side fin is tuned to harness power and drive off the bottom while the smaller heel-side fins handle tight, responsive redirection β the drive lands under a goofy-footer's front foot and the quick fins live where you actually pivot.
On an asym shape ridden goofy, this set keeps both rails loaded through a turn instead of compromising for symmetry β a powerful toe-side bottom turn and a snappy heel-side off the top. It's for a goofy rider already on an asymmetrical board; regular-footers need the regular layout, and on a symmetrical board a matched thruster or twin is the simpler, better answer.
The True Ames Album Asymmetrical set in the goofy-foot layout, FCS compatible in solid fiberglass, designed by Matt Parker of Album Surfboards for asymmetrical boards ridden goofy. The cluster is deliberately mismatched: the toe-side fin is larger and the heel-side fins are smaller, with the whole arrangement mirrored from the regular-stance set to suit a goofy stance.
