Fin SystemSingle / Longboard Box
Designer: Troy Elmore
The Fin
With a wide base and generous tip, the Troy Elmore Pivot provides ample surface area to lock in when on the nose. Troy designed this fin with noseriding as the primary objective.
Raised and residing in Orange County, Troy is an incredible up-and-coming shaper–specializing in logs among other retro designs–who surfs at a level few can measure up to. While stability is the name of the game with this Pivot fin of his, it has a bit less area than a traditional Pivot-style fin. Together with enough rake and its foil, the Troy Elmore Pivot allows for swooping turns and abrupt cutbacks when on the tail.
What you’ll find in this fin is the ability to pull through sections while on the nose, while still being able to crank a turn. Pair it with your favorite log on waves in the knee to chest high range, and enjoy the ride.
- Less area than a traditional Pivot-style fin, but still features a wide base and healthy rake
- Made for loggers that want both stability on the nose and ample turning ability
- Solid fiberglass construction, raw finish

From True Ames
It pins the tail when you walk forward, but it is not a planky anchor: the rake lets it come around for swooping turns and abrupt cutbacks off the tail.
Our take
Put it on a traditional or all-around log you ride in knee-to-chest surf when you want to walk to the nose and still throw a turn on the way back. For maximum planted hold step up to the Velzy Noserider; for a volan body with more flex and projection, the Tappy 1.
