The True Ames John Simon Single Tab Quad Fin Set (John's Quad Type I) feature relatively upright templates with narrow and blunted tips which are intended to create the ability for tighter arcs in curvy type waves.
"They really help make my longer quad fin eggs, which tend to be in the 7'+ range, surf like they are shorter boards because of the tight turning radius and sensitivity they promote. They are also very functional on shorter, flatter, and wider tailed boards because they provide a good balance of punchy flickiness in the lip but also a lot of control in pockety waves. Smaller, tighter, and compact / bowly waves is what I had them in mind for." -John Simon
There you have it... straight from the horse's mouth. Give 'em a try and see if you can't tighten up some of your turns!

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
True Ames loves tinkering with all the variables, and their buddy John Simon surely doesn't shy away from exploring new ideas either. They are excited to be offering some fresh quads designed by the up and coming Ventura, CA based shaper. John is youthful in terms of his spirit and also years under his belt, but what he lacks in age he makes up for in passion and the dedicated pursuit of ideation, design, and craftsmanship. As a budding, yet extremely talented shaper, True Ames felt that John has already been down an interesting road of design-exploration through which he's landed on unique concepts built around functionality and purpose but also creativity and expression.
