The Fin
Shawn Stussy's Hitch Hiker trailer fin, FCS compatible solid fiberglass in smoke or light purple.
A trailer is the small fin that turns a twin into a 2+1 — or adds a little tail hold to a single. It is not there to steer; it is there to stop the tail sliding out further than you asked.
This one
Stussy's template is short and wide-based — it adds tail hold without the drag a taller trailer brings, which suits a fish that is already fast enough.
Specifications
It carries more area than a tiny stabilizer, so when you drop it behind a twin it does more than just settle the tail — it adds real drive and hold for stepping the board up into bigger surf. It is a trailer with enough fin to actually change how the board drives.
Drop it in behind a twin — ideally the Stussy Roots Twin — when you want the hold to charge a bigger, steeper wave a pure twin would slide out on, or run it behind a thruster to work the other direction and free the board up. If you only want a whisper of tail control without altering the board's character, the Mini Trailer is the subtler pick.
The Stussy Hitch Hiker is a single trailer fin designed by Shawn Stussy and made by True Ames in FCS-compatible solid fiberglass, sold as a single fin. It is the center fin from Stussy's Roots Twin family, standing a little over three inches tall — taller and more substantial than a nubster-style stabilizer. It runs from the center box behind a twin set or in a thruster setup.
