Ryan Lovelace's asymmetrical set for goofy-foot asym boards — a small keel on the toe side, a quad arrangement on the heel side.
Solid fiberglass, Futures compatible, in clear, smoke and kelp. An asymmetrical board has a different outline and rail length on each side, and it wants different fins on each side to match: here that is one small keel on the toe-side rail and a two-fin quad setup on the heel side. Lovelace drew this as the friendly, well-rounded version of the idea rather than a specialist set. The sides are handed, so this is the goofy-foot version and not interchangeable with the regular-foot one.
The toe side gets the keel, and a keel is base: drive and projection down the line, with enough outline left forward to still pivot vertically off the bottom rather than only arcing. The heel side gets two fins, and that is where the cutbacks come from — a quad arrangement releases and re-engages cleanly, so a redirection carries speed through instead of stalling. The board turns differently in each direction by design, matched to how the feet stand on it.
Asymmetrical boards shaped for a goofy-footed surfer, with the box layout to suit. It is the balanced, well-rounded set rather than a specialised one, which makes it as good a first asym set as it is a considered second one for a board whose owner already knows what they want from each rail.
Boards plugged for FCS rather than Futures? The Lovelace Asymmetrical Goofy - FCS Compatible (Solid Fiberglass) is the same set on FCS bases.
The side you carve on gets the looser, more forgiving cluster, and the side you drive off gets the planted single keel: a small keel on the toe side for drive and projection that still lets the board pivot vertically off the bottom, and a quad cluster on the heel side for clean cutbacks and seamless redirection.
This is a system fin, not a swap-in: on a goofy-foot asymmetrical board built for this layout it lets your backhand carve loose while your forehand drives off a fixed pivot, something a symmetrical setup cannot do. On a standard twin or single it is the wrong tool, and regular-footers want the Regular version instead.
A complete asymmetrical fin set designed by Ryan Lovelace and made by True Ames in Futures-compatible solid fiberglass. Built for goofy-foot asymmetrical boards, it places a small keel on the toe-side rail and a quad cluster on the heel side. A mirrored Regular version is made for regular-foot surfers.
