The Fin
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, FCS compatible, in clear, kelp and smoke. 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.
How that reads
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.
Who it suits
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.
If this is not the one

Specifications
The toe-side carries a small keel for drive and projection while still allowing a vertical pivot off the bottom, and the heel-side runs a quad cluster tuned for clean cutbacks and smooth redirection.
On the right board it disappears under your feet and just does the correct thing on each turn: a forehand that drives off a single pivot and a backhand that releases and carves.
FCS-compatible version of Ryan Lovelace's complete asymmetrical fin set for goofy-foot boards, made by True Ames in solid fiberglass throughout. The set pairs a small keel on the toe side with a quad cluster on the heel side. It is built for goofy-foot asymmetrical boards cut for a keel-plus-quad arrangement, and the same set is also produced in a Futures-compatible version.
