Skip Frye (Volan) - Single Fin, Hand-Laid Premium Volan Construction. A Volan-built version of Skip Frye's iconic single-fin template, for surfers chasing ultimate trim and classic Frye feel. Straightforward clean lines and classic curves define the outline, developed in the mid-1970s to excel in a supporting role beneath Eggs, Gliders, and thinner planing-type boards. Our Volan fins are fine-tuned with precision foils and proper flex, using meticulously hand-laid panels with optimal weave orientation so the flex comes more from the body than just the tip.

Fin Construction: Volan
Designer Name: Harry Richard "Skip" Frye
Designer Origin: San Diego, California
Designer Bio: Frye's fin approach is classic and understated—clean lines and balanced curves that favor trim, flow, and controlled transitions over abrupt, pivoty surfing. He's known for his innovation with foiled surfboard fins; after a 1969 trip to Australia, he developed trademark board shapes including the Egg and Fish that remain reference points for modern single-fin craftsmanship.
