High Pro Twin + Trailer Fiberglass

Three fins: True Ames' High Pro Twin pair on Futures bases with an FCS-base centre trailer, for boards with mixed boxes — surfable as a twin or as something close to a thruster.

The High Pro Twin is True Ames' own twin template, drawn in-house for the way twins are being ridden now — everything from beachbreak to solid overhead surf. True Ames lists it at 5.10" deep on a 4.96" base, 19.28 sq in, which is slightly smaller than a standard upright performance twin, with a healthy base width and area carried through the tip. This set adds a centre trailer behind that pair. This is the mixed-base version: Futures twins with an FCS trailer, for a board whose centre plug is not the same system as its sides.

How that reads

Solid fiberglass makes the pair firm and stable rather than flexy, and the flat inside foil at 6.5° produces lift: down-the-line speed, power off the bottom and through the lip, and smooth rail-to-rail surfing. Base width holds the fin in through a carve while the area at the tip still lets it release when the turn is finished.

Twin or twin-plus-trailer

Run the two fins alone and the board is looser and freer, which is the point of a twin. Drop the trailer in and the tail stops sliding as early: more stability, more hold in a line, a feel that leans closer to a thruster. Two boards' worth of behaviour out of one set, which is the reason to buy the three rather than the two.
