The Fin

Skip Frye’s thruster set, and small for a thruster on purpose: less fin, so the board’s rail line does the work.

The Frye Tri is a classic from Skip’s archives. The two front fins are slightly larger than the trailer in both depth and base, which buys forgiveness without giving up control; all three are compact for a tri set, which is Skip’s whole approach — use less fin and more of the board.

How that reads

Small fins with gentle rake and a balanced profile release early and change direction without effort. What you give up is the locked-in hold of a bigger set in solid surf; what you get is the glide and the smooth, drawn turns Skip’s boards are known for.

Who it suits

Eggs, gliders and any board shaped around long rail lines, in waves where flow matters more than power. If your board is a 2+1 rather than a three-plug thruster, pair a Skip Frye single with the Skip Frye side bites instead.

If this is not the one

Want a thruster with more hold for bigger waves? The CI Tri Large or the Power Trailer Tri. Want the Frye feel on a single fin? The Skip Frye single, in solid glass or volan.
