Product Construction
E-Glass
In order to achieve the performance characteristics that have become the standard of solid Fiberglass surf fins, True Ames uses E-Glass. It is the most common type of Fiberglass used in surfboard construction, and its qualities translate with great success into fin construction. E-Glass has excellent flex characteristics and performance longevity, while featuring the bonus of outstanding color vibrancy that allows for the variety of colors True Ames offers.
Additional Info
Why You'll Love This Fin
Ellis Ericson's edge-inspired shapes have a lot of zip and go fast. These fins are fit to complement those characteristics. Although they have a larger surface area, they are also upright, reducing drag while offering an ample-sized pivot point. The power blade head shape is very unique, providing width to push from and generate speed, while freeing up top turns with its high aspect ratio. These fins have drive and flow. The inside foil provides lift, and when on rail, the outline offers consistency through the turn. With a higher aspect ratio, you're freed to release the end of a turn, but with the fins still engaged, allowing quick linkage to the next maneuver. These fins were designed to complement Ellis' Lite Kite shapes, and in general are ideal for a quad setup with a longer rail line or wider outline. The template pairs well with a board that likes to go fast and may not naturally have a tight turning radius, instead leaning on the fins to provide a pivot point.Form | Upright, Power Head, Inside Foil
Function | Speed Generating into a Solid Pivot Point
Feel | Powerful, Maneuverable, Responsive
Overall | Versatile quad fin designed for high speed performance surfing
History & Origin
The Ellis Ericson Feathers Quad springs from the adventurous design language of Ellis Ericson, a Byron Bay-born surfer and shaper who grew up steeped in the rich lineage of 1970s Australian surfboard craft. Influenced early on by the curves and flow of classic designs — and shaped further by long stints riding and shaping in Indonesia — Ellis combines timeless surfboard aesthetics with a modern performance mindset rooted in speed, feel, and connection to the wave. As his exploration evolved beyond single fins and mid-lengths, the move into quad setups like the Feathers Quad represents a natural extension of his ethos: fuse old-school soul with progressive execution to unlock lively acceleration, drive through turns, and a playful yet precise ride. Central to Ellis' evolution is the lasting influence of George Greenough — whose revolutionary approach to flex, foil, and hydrodynamic efficiency reshaped modern fin design.
