The 4.0 sits at the aggressive end of the side bite range: more surface than the 3.7 most longboarders default to, which means stronger rail-to-rail hold and more drive through a turn.
Reach for the 4.0 on a bigger log or performance longboard in steeper, more powerful surf when you want maximum rail grip and a thruster-leaning 2+1 — and remember to drop your center fin so total area stays balanced. If you only want a hint of extra grip without changing the single-fin character, this is too much fin; go smaller.
The Side Bite 4.0 is the 4.0" size at the large end of True Ames' standard side bite line, made in solid fiberglass with Futures bases and sold as a pair. It is intended for longboard and mid-length 2+1 setups, run with a dropped-down center fin to keep total fin area balanced.
The 4.0 carries more surface than the 3.7 most longboarders default to, adding stronger hold and drive.
The review contrasts the 4.0 with the small, minimal-rake Skip Frye Side Bites, which add just a touch of stability while preserving single-fin character.
The review suggests the smaller 3.25 for a hint of extra grip without changing the single-fin feel.
