True Ames is stoked to partner with one of our favorite surfers to bring you an super versatile modern pivot fin. From any spot on your log this fin will perform as required, from deep carves to stable noserides. This design blends old school tradition with modern performance.
Form | Upright, moderate rake, full tip area
Function | Performance driven noserider
Feel | Plenty of hold when needed, but still loose and lively on rail
Overall | A great contemporary noserider that provides versatility
A versatile modern pivot built to perform from anywhere on the log — the upright stature and area give the hold you need for nose time, while the mild rake and medium base keep it responsive enough to carve.
Put it on an all-around log when you want one fin that noserides and carves without committing to either extreme. If you want a looser, more aggressive turning fin, go to the Quintal Cutty; if your priority is maximum planted nose hold, the Heritage is the call.
The Justin Quintal Pivot is a longboard single fin made by True Ames in solid fiberglass, offered here in one size, 9.75". The template is a moderate, upright pivot outline with mild rake and a medium base. It sits among True Ames's noserider templates and is intended for logs ridden from both the tail and the nose.
The review contrasts the Cutty, which strips area off the trailing half for harder, looser turns, with the Pivot's steadier nose hold and controlled carves.
Named as the steadier choice for maximum planted nose time, where the Pivot trades a little tail authority for versatility.
