For years, this duo had been collaboratively tinkering with historical surfboard designs in a quest to design the perfect shape. This fin was designed along the way to accompany boards of the displacement hull variety; it excels in combination with thin rails and vee to flat bottoms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis fin's fuller-than-normal leading edge, combined with its slender tip and full-base, translates into smooth rail turns and the ability to harness maximum power. From a design standpoint, its thick leading edge provides the structural integrity needed to support its narrow tip. Crafting this fin out of Volan–with it's strong structural integrity–enables us to create this special foil design. It would be far too flexy made of any other material, but with Volan it retains a stiff and powerful flex.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePHD reviews note that this fin: feels good at low speed, has heaps of power with the stiffer flex, has proper hold in all phases of a turn, and overall has a perfectly balanced feel. It makes for an epic ride on down-the-line type waves.

Crafted with a labor of love at our factory in Santa Barbara, CA, these fins undergo the strictest quality control. Our Volan panels are meticulously hand-laid and templated ensuring optimal weave orientation and superior strength, with flex coming more from the body rather than just the tip. This enhances speed and projection off the bottom and through turns, making our Volan fins a pinnacle of the highest performance flex characteristics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecial foil design: full leading edge and narrow tip assist in power generation and smooth rail turns\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePairs well with “hull” shapes, mid-lengths, and medium to big-sized boards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVolan fiberglass construction generates high-performance flex\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TRUE AMES","offers":[{"title":"VOLAN \/ OS","offer_id":47913334735172,"sku":"PHD95VOLAN","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/0673\/files\/Pukas-Surf-Shop-true-ames-fin-phd-volan-1.jpg?v=1707403544"}],"url":"https:\/\/pukassurfshop.com\/collections\/true-ames-kirk-putnam-brian-hilbers-fins.oembed","provider":"PUKAS SURF SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
