True Ames couldn't be more stoked to link up with the ultra talented surfer/shaper Alex Lopez to make fins.
True Ames couldn't be more stoked to link up with the ultra talented surfer/shaper Alex Lopez to make fins. True Ames are kicking things off with his favorite twin template dubbed the Diamond Twin. This template sits at the lower limits of the hybrid twin category with a 5.35” base and 5.25” depth. You can anticipate plenty of drive out of these fins, while the narrowing tip and eye catching rake offers the needed sensitivity for quick directional changes. You almost can't go wrong with the board pairings for this fin. The Diamond Twin will add acceleration, flow, and control to a variety of twin fins from round pins to long fish, to performance twinnies.
Nimble and quick under the feet, with a forward leaning wide point and pulled in tail. It's skatey, lively, and, thanks to the winged diamond tail, turns a little more on pivot than a swallow tail or rounded pin.
Quick acceleration, easy rail to rail, plenty of hold — working across round pins and long fish to performance twinnies.
Lopez shaped the board, then spec'd the fin to go in it — if you're on an Alex Lopez board, there's no compelling reason to second-guess that starting point. Beyond his boards, it's right for any wide-point-forward twin or diamond-tailed fish where you want acceleration with actual redirectability, not a keel lock-in. It sits in the middle by design.
A solid fiberglass twin fin designed by shaper Alex Lopez for his Diamond Twin surfboard model and produced by True Ames in a Futures-compatible base. It measures 5.35" base by 5.25" height, a nearly square aspect ratio with a fuller body and a narrow, raked tip — more base than a typical upright twin, less than a keel. Lopez recommends the fin across his Diamond Twin, Grand Twin, Kinky Fish, and LT board templates, which span roughly a 5'7" performance twin to a 6'8" longer twin; True Ames lists it for round pins, long fish, and performance twins.
