The Fin
While keeping true to many of the classic design features of the beloved "Farb Flex", tweaks were made to increase performance in both noseriding and maneuverability. Josh started by increasing both the base width and rake to provide increased drive off the bottom and more stability while on the nose. Additional flex was added to the design by thinning the foil in the tip of the fin as well as pairing the fin with our Volan fiberglass in order to create optimal flex and increased projection. The Faberow Flex Volan Pro Model is a well balanced fin that will work well in a variety of longboards, while increasing performance. Our Volan fins are fine-tuned with precision foils as well as proper flex. Crafted with a labor of love, these fins undergo the strictest quality control. Our Volan panels are meticulously hand-laid and templated ensuring optimal weave orientation and superior strength, with flex coming more from the body rather than just the tip. This enhances speed and projection off the bottom and through turns, making our Volan fins a pinnacle of the highest performance flex characteristics.
Form | Wide base, sweeping rake, plenty of flex
Function | Solid hold, drawn out turning, enhanced bottom turn projection
Feel | Solid and predictable, ample drive from the wide base, sensitive from the nose
Overall | One of the best longboard fins ever made just got a little better

What people say
The template keeps the beloved Farb Flex character but adds base width and rake for more drive off the bottom and more stability on the nose, with the flex coming through the body so it projects you out of turns rather than just wobbling at the tip.
A do-it-all longboard fin with Volan spring: on a performance or all-around log it noserides and genuinely turns. If your only goal is maximum dead-planted tip time, the Heritage is steadier, and the Hobie Log Flex is the more traditional Volan log fin with less turning emphasis.
More About This Fin
The Josh Farberow Pro Model is a Volan-glass longboard single fin made by True Ames, developed from the Farberow Flex template with added base width and rake and a thinned tip foil. The Volan layup is built so flex comes through the body of the fin. It comes in three sizes — 9.0", 9.5", and 10.0" — and is intended for performance and all-around longboards.
