The Fin
The Farberow Flex came to fruition when Josh Farberow, a true maestro who surfs with surgical precision, came to us with a request. He asked if we might be able to take our iconic California Classic template, and foil it out to give it a powerful and performance-oriented level of flex. Farberow–a key player in the early ‘90s longboard resurgence and fixture in the Malibu surf scene–surfs insanely well both off the top and bottom of the wave, excels at critical turns in the pocket, and has timeless noseriding skills to boot. This fin is well-suited for Josh’s performance- style longboard surfing in right-hand point breaks, and its extra amount of lively spring and energy can truly enhance your surfing capability too. The medium body, combined with both the rake and the fine-tuned flex in this design will provide you with stability you can depend on, confidence through smooth flowing turns, and an added amount of power and projection. No wonder it has become a customer favorite in our collection! Like the California Classic, but more foiled and with more flex High-performance design excels when turning, noseriding, and trimming…This fin does it all. Solid fiberglass construction, flat matte finish

What people say
A medium body with rake and fine-tuned flex that gives dependable stability, smooth flowing turns and real spring out of the pocket.
The idea was to keep the proven California Classic shape but foil it thinner so the fin loads and springs under load — developed for his own performance longboarding in right-hand point surf.
This is the fin for a performance log under a surfer who wants to work the whole wave, not just park on the nose — it adds lively flex and projection to the California Classic outline. If you want the same outline stiffer and more predictable, go California Classic; if you want planted nose time instead of spring, go Dewey Weber Hatchet.
More About This Fin
The Farberow Flex is a single fin made by True Ames with Josh Farberow, taking the California Classic template and foiling it thinner for a performance level of flex. It has a medium body with rake and comes in three sizes: 9.0", 9.5", and 10.0", with most performance logs landing on the 9.5". It was developed for Farberow's performance longboarding in right-hand point surf.
