Slightly stiffer than your average flex fin and with a bit of additional rake, Ryan Lovelace designed the v.Bowls as his ultimate mid-length companion.
Slightly stiffer than your average flex fin and with a bit of additional rake, Ryan Lovelace designed the v.Bowls as his ultimate mid-length companion. What you'll find in this fin is positivity—great drive down the line and taut release out of your bottom turns when surfed with a heavy foot. Pair the v.Bowls with your favorite mid-length, and enjoy everything from trimming, refined micro-adjustments in the pocket, and long and drawn-out turns.
Form | High area flex fin, ample rake, wide base with a full tip
Function | High drive, powerful carves, stable hold
Feel | Down the line burner, section wrapping bottom turns, firm responsive flex
Overall | Responsive and versatile single fin for waves with some push
It runs a touch stiffer than an average flex fin and carries extra rake, giving strong drive down the line and a taut release out of bottom turns when you load the tail.
Riders describe a ball-bearing feel, with the fatter leading edge adding stability without dulling speed.
Pick the v.Bowls for a mid-length you intend to surf hard, with drive and long arcs the goal; it comes alive when you stomp it and rewards a heavy back foot, but keep your weight forward enough to keep it from bogging. If you want a lighter, more forgiving version go ThickLizzy; for looser pivot off the tail, the McCallum Single.
The v.Bowls is Ryan Lovelace's flagship mid-length single fin, designed as the companion to his v.Bowls board model and made by True Ames. It runs slightly stiffer than an average flex fin, carries extra rake, and has a fatter leading edge. It comes in two sizes, 7.75 inch and 8.5 inch, and suits a range of mid-length single fins beyond the v.Bowls board itself.
The ThickLizzy is the lighter, more forgiving cut of the same idea, with the v.Bowls the heavier, more powerful option.
The McCallum trades some of the v.Bowls' drive for a more upright, looser tail-pivot feel on the same board.
Cited as the benchmark for classic soft-wave feel.
