What people say
Rigid and powerful, built for high-speed point surfing and down-the-line flow — the smaller, neutral design encourages the board to roll onto either rail, allowing the board's straighter template to become the primary driving force.
Fanning can't quite wrench the Bluebird into turns the way he can with his DHD thrusters, but he beautifully navigates the board through some proper frontside tubes.
Fifty years of getting out of the way: a raked, driving single built to amplify what the board's template already does, not impose its own agenda. If your board was built for Lennox-style down-the-line surfing, this is the fin that completes it.
More About This Fin
Bob McTavish drew the Bluebird fin in the early 1970s for his Bluebird single-fin board, developed through daily surfing at Lennox Point after he relocated to Byron Bay. It is a swept single-fin template with pronounced rake, manufactured today by True Ames in Santa Barbara to McTavish's original template in limited quantities. It comes in one size, 7.6", suiting single-fin mid-lengths and performance eggs in the 6'6"–7'6" range.
