The Fin
The Performer is designed to do exactly as its name implies–to perform in high-performance 2+1 longboard surfing.
John Perry, one of Santa Barbara’s notable long-time shapers, has lent his hand in refining this gem. It is John and his buddy Dave Lamberston that are actually credited for dreaming up and creating the 2+1 fin configuration (which they originally called the "Threedom"), thereby bringing further high-performance functionality to longboards. This fin is a result of their research and development, intended to be a center fin paired with side bites.
This classic fin embodies a fin that is well-balanced with optimal surface area distribution and minimal flex, offering both a powerful and extremely smooth ride. Its versatility makes it a solid option for a wide array of 2+1 setups and longboards.
- Well-balanced area with minimal flex

Our take
Run the Performer as the center of a 2+1 longboard or mid-length when you want powerful, smooth, stable drive — 7.25 inches suits most 7'0" to 8'0" boards, paired with 3.25" or 3.7" side bites. If you want a looser, more classic arcing feel from the center box, the Greenough 4A is the alternative.
More About This Fin
The Performer is a 2+1 center fin designed by Santa Barbara shaper John Perry, who with Dave Lamberson is credited with creating the 2+1 configuration, originally called the "Threedom." Made by True Ames in solid fiberglass, it comes in 6.25", 7.25", and 8" sizes and pairs with 3.25" or 3.7" side bites. It goes in the center box of a 2+1 longboard or mid-length rather than standing alone as a single fin.
