The Fin
The Heritage pays homage to original surf style and classic fin design. Inspired by traditional pivot templates, this fin is an in-house True Ames design built for those keen to keep alive the longboarding style of past eras. Think leaning way back and pivoting from the tail, finding that perfect trim, and getting locked in on the nose. This fin is perfectly at home on classic style longboards that have some weight to them and wide square tails. The Heritage surfs especially well on point-style longboard and beach breaks with waves in the knee to chest-high range. Step way back, drop knee turn, cross-step, noseride, repeat… Our take on a classic Pivot-style fin: full of area and minimal rake Built for noseriders—this fin provides stability and enables maximum tip time Solid fiberglass construction, flat matte finish

What people say
The combination is deliberate: the wide base holds the tail down so the nose lifts, and the drawn-out rake keeps sweeping turns clean rather than skittish. It is built to do one job extremely well rather than to cover every board you own.
Put it on a heavy classic log when nose time is the whole point and you want the tail planted under you. If you would rather surf rail to rail and turn off the tail, the Greenough Stage III or the more versatile Hobie Classic are better fits; the Heritage is single-minded by design.
More About This Fin
The Heritage is True Ames' in-house single fin based on traditional pivot templates, combining a wide base with drawn-out rake. It is built in fiberglass and comes in three sizes, 9.75 inch, 10.0 inch, and 10.5 inch, in a wide range of colors. It is intended for heavy classic longboards with wide square tails in knee-to-chest-high surf.

Hobie Classic›
The Hobie Classic carries more rake and a fuller tip for fluid all-around turning, making the Heritage the more single-minded noseriding pivot.
