The Fin
Introducing the V-Raked fin, a design by Tristan Mausse, the shaper behind the Fantastic Acid label. This fin pays homage to the Wave Set fins of the 60s, while incorporating updated foil, flex, and material.
The 9.25" base is the maximum width compatible with a standard fin box, allowing the V-Raked to stay true to its Wave Set origins. Its dramatic sweep and wide base makes it ideal for vee bottom boards, transition-era surf craft, and more sensitive logs.
With the V-Raked, riders can expect full projection out of turns and exceptional hold in the pocket.
- Maximum base width, paired with a tremendous about of rake
- The ultimate large board vee bottom companion
- Volan fiberglass construction, raw finish

From True Ames
Volan fins flex more from the body of the fin, which produces increased speed and projection off the bottom and through turns. On a hull, that body flex is exactly what loads up and springs you down the line.
From True Ames
The V-Raked design pays homage to the Wave Set fins of the 60s, and the partnership with Fantastic Acid was meant to give his epic hull shapes the volan fins they deserve.
Our take
Run it on a displacement hull, vee-bottom, or sensitive log where you want smooth, springy, drawn-out drive down the line rather than tight pivots off the tail. For planted noseriding on a heavy log the D-2 is the move instead.
More About This Fin
The Fantastic Acid Vee Bottom is a V-raked single fin designed by Tristan Mausse of Fantastic Acid, who builds displacement hulls under that label, and made by True Ames in volan construction. The outline references the Wave Set fins of the 1960s with an updated foil and flex. Volan is a heavier, denser weave than standard fiberglass that flexes from the body of the fin. It is intended for displacement hulls, vee-bottom and transition-era boards, and more sensitive logs.
