Troy Elmore Flex Volan Fin — Longboard

This Flex fin is the brainchild of the ultra talented surfer and shaper, Troy Elmore, whose talents both in and out of the ocean combine to produce a feedback loop that pushes the boundaries of surfing through design. Troy drew inspiration for this template from a variety of tried and true design theories, and combined them to create a tremendously versatile longboard fin.

With a wide base, the Troy Elmore Flex fin has great stability when forward on the board, while also providing ample drive off the bottom. The fin’s area smoothly transitions to a sensitive flex tip to allow for pocket maneuverability as well as rail-to-rail transitions.

This fin pairs nicely with a healthy range of boards and conditions. If you’re looking to loosen up your noserider with something other than a Pivot-style fin, or add drive and spring to your log, then search no further than the Troy Elmore Flex.

True Ames builds its Volan fins around flex as much as outline. Made by True Ames in Santa Barbara, CA. The Volan panels are laid up and templated so the weave runs the right way, and the flex comes from the body of the fin rather than just the tip. That gives speed and projection off the bottom and through turns.
