The Fin
The Wayne Rich Highliner has become a fast favorite of the crew here in the shop and also other lucky folks who have had the chance to give one a spin. True Ames' newest log offering in conjunction with Wayne, the Highliner is both functional & diverse, and will certainly provide multi-faceted capability in your go-to longboard. This template features a carefully developed blend of curves with some generous base length which allows for a great amount of stability and hold that you can trust in, while the rake and slender upper profile still offers both amazing turning ability and projection.
Wayne Rich's profound understanding of design and hydrodynamic theory, paired with his 4+ decades of surfboard building experience can be evidenced through this fin. That knowledge is translated here into a fin with outstanding performance capability. If you know anything about Wayno, you'll understand that the man is unwaveringly dedicated to his craft and will generally only put his stamp of approval on designs that work - lucky for you this is one you can get your hands on!
- An exceptional blend of area, base length, and rake which makes for a solid all-around longboard option that can excel in both noseriding & turning ability
- Designed to have a slightly stiff flex which will retain the ability to provide power, lift and drive
- Solid fiberglass construction, raw finish

What people say
He built it with a deliberately slightly stiff flex, which is the reason it holds power, lift, and drive rather than bending and washing out.
Our take
This is the fin for the surfer who doesn't want to choose: enough base and area to walk forward and get nose time, enough rake and backbone to project and turn when you step back. If your priority is dedicated classic noseriding hold, go with the Harmonic '67; if you want a looser, springier feel, the Velzy Classic.
More About This Fin
The Highliner is Wayne Rich's all-around longboard single fin, made by True Ames in solid fiberglass with a raw finish. The template pairs a generous base with rake and a slender upper profile, built with a slightly stiff flex. Four sizes are stocked: 9", 9.5", 10", and 10.3". It was designed to pair with Rich's Wildcard 3 and Checkmate shapes.
