The Terrapin is Alex Lopez's original model, this fin is its namesake and Alex’s go to single fin template.
Easy to forget it's a single fin as it's so lively underfoot. It trims like a champ.
Catches everything in sight, and brings back the pure stoke of flow, trim, speed, and juicy carves.
Built for glide — with a wide-point-forward rail line for smooth surfing.
The Terrapin single is for the surfer riding a wide-point-forward egg or midlength who wants drawn-out, arcing turns with real drive and a measured release. The rake commits you to the arc — if you're chasing a pivoty, loose feel that releases quickly into snaps, it's the wrong tool. If that's the surfing you're after, it delivers it cleanly.
The Terrapin single fin was designed by Oceanside shaper Alex Lopez for his 7'4" Terrapin mid-length — a wide-point-forward, beak-nosed, down-rail board — and is manufactured by True Ames. It is available in 7.4-inch and 7.95-inch sizes and features a narrow flared base, high rake, and a fuller overall foil. True Ames pairs it with eggs, pin tails, and mid-lengths, roughly the 6'8"–8'0" range; the 7.95" is suited to longer boards and more powerful surf.
