Designed by Skip Frye in the mid 1970s, this classic True Ames Skip Frye Single Fin reflects the clean lines and smooth curves tied to his Eggs and Gliders, offering a minimal, fluid feel built for trim, speed, and low drag. Made from solid fiberglass with a flat matte Volan finish, it features slight rake and medium flex tuned through the body for smooth projection, working equally well as a single fin or in a 2 + 1 setup on mid lengths, thinner planing boards, and shapes that rely on long rail lines and pinched rails.

Additional Info
A single fin designed by one of the greatest surfboard craftsman of all time… Need True Ames say more? Straight forward, clean lines, and classic curves are the name of the game here.
An iconic figure in San Diego surf culture, Skip Frye is an accomplished surfer well known for his silky smooth style as well as his innovative and unique designs. Devised in the mid ‘70s, Skip’s single fin was developed to perform and excel in a supporting role for some of the boards he’s best known for such as his Eggs and Gliders. Minimalistic and pure, this fin lends itself to fluid and graceful surfing.
If you want to follow in Skip’s footsteps and search for that ultimate trim, minimize drag, increase speed, and let the board do the talking…Then this is the fin for you.
E-Glass (Solid Fiberglass)
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.
