The Cutaway is one of our tried-and-true templates.
Built to be the center fin of a 2+1, where it turns snappy and lively while the side bites supply rail hold. Smaller sizes free it up even further for radical experimentation.
Run it as a 2+1 center on a performance longboard with side bites in and you get snappy turns, quick cutbacks and a responsive, lively feel in waves of any size. This fin wants to move.
Put it in the center box of a performance longboard with 3.7-inch or smaller side bites when you want to turn the board hard instead of just trim and noseride. If you want a drivier, more drawn-out mid-length center the CI Mid is the better pick, and a true noserider calls for the Dewey Weber Hatchet instead.
The Cutaway is a True Ames longboard center-fin template with a notch cut from its trailing edge that removes area off the back and shortens the effective base. It is offered in sizes from 5 inches through 9.5 inches, with 7 inch, 7.5 inch and 8 inch the common sizes for 2+1 setups. It is designed to run as the center fin of a 2+1 on a performance longboard, paired with side bites.
The review says the CI Mid carries a fuller base and more drawn-out drive for a locked, accelerating mid-length feel, where the Cutaway is looser and quicker off the tail.
For a true noserider that holds the tail down, the review points to the Hatchet template instead.
