What people say
Deep bottom turns set me up for a terrific 'fling' down the line and very hi octane hot dogging.
Responsive enough to get you on a rail or out of a tight situation, while keeping the old school jive.
Sweet, controlled speed and trim, with smooth arcing turns and acceptable pivots.
This is a carving, projecting single fin designed around the bottom turn — not a trimmer, not a nose machine. McTavish calls the Rincon the best board he ever made, and he hasn't changed the fin in almost sixty years. If you're surfing a Rincon or something close to it and don't have this fin already, there's not much to deliberate.
More About This Fin
A 9.45" volan fiberglass single fin designed by Bob McTavish for the Rincon mid-length, a template dating to January 1968 at the Morey Pope factory in Ventura. The shape derives from George Greenough's Stage IV with the tip removed, and features a concave tip taper, sweeping rake, and a smaller base than the companion 8.3" Tracker Volan. It is produced by True Ames, hand-cut with the weave orientation aligned to the flex pattern. Intended for single-box mid-lengths from roughly 7'8" to 8'4" with moderate rocker.
