The Fin
Originally developed by George Greenough in the late '60s, the Stage III ushered in a new era of longboard surfing. This template was developed from one of the original Wave Set fins, and modified to fit in a standard fin box. The Stage III is designed to provide both hold and release - the ultimate combo! *Please note that this fin runs the entire length of the fin box, and does not accommodate adjustments or leash knots.
Form | A large, upright fin, with a wide base & moderate rake
Function | Ample drive, a blend of hold and release for true rail to rail surfing
Feel | Responsive, loose and freeing, while also providing plenty of drive and hold when needed
Overall | Our take on the classic, molded plastic Wave-Set fin. Now available in solid fiberglass construction and designed to fit the modern fin box

Why Volan?
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.
