The Fin
Straight from Mr. Lovelace ... "The Lizzy fin has plenty of base, but a narrow and flexy tip. Suited well for mini gliders and all kinds of single fins, and not surprisingly - specifically the ThickLizzy. Based originally on the v.Bowls fin but aimed at a little lighter approach. It is less drive and power-hungry than the beefy v.Bowls fin, and equally happy to be heavily pressured as it is to be grooved with ease."
Form | Wide base with narrow flexible drop tip, full foil, substantial rake
Function | Wide base for drive, flex and projection, perfect for 2+1s
Feel | Ample projection, stable hold while still feeling free
Overall | Reliable drive, hold and projection in all conditions

What people say
He based the ThickLizzy on his v.Bowls template but drew it for a lighter touch — less drive-and-power-hungry than the beefy v.Bowls, rewarding being grooved easily as much as being stomped.
Plenty of base feeding a narrow, flexy tip, so it drives down the line but releases cleanly out of bottom turns.
Pick it for a mid-length or mini glider when you want trim speed with a flexy, forgiving release — it grooves easily in everyday surf but comes alive when you stand on it. If your board feels dead and wants more push, go to the v.Bowls; if you want a looser tail-pivot feel, the McCallum Single.
More About This Fin
The ThickLizzy is Ryan Lovelace's mid-length single fin, made by True Ames and built around his Thick Lizzy board model. The template derives from his v.Bowls design, with a wide base and a thin, flexible tip. It comes in 7", 7.5", 8", 8.5", and 9" sizes and works as a pure single fin or as the center of a 2+1 setup, pairing with the Lovelace Side Runners or Side Bites.

Lovelace v.Bowls
The ThickLizzy is drawn from the v.Bowls template but is the lighter, more forgiving choice, while the v.Bowls wants a heavier foot and drive-hungry boards.
