Skip immediately got the bug and was hooked right away. Shortly thereafter he got his first surfboard shaped by Mike Diffenderfer - a 9’3” single fin balsa board, and then Skip began shaping boards himself in 1963. This soon led him to a job at Gordon \u0026amp; Smith where he first developed his skills, was an innovator of new board designs, and also began using his iconic ‘pair of wings’ logo. Throughout the 60’s Skip successfully competed as a surfer, became one of the original members of the Windansea Surf Club, and traveled the world in search of waves. Along the way, Skip met a lot of influential characters and discovered some new surfboard shapes which inspired him to come back and develop some of the boards he is so well known for such as the Egg. Skip went on to shape at a few different locations in the following decades such as The Green Room, his room known as The Shack, Diamond Glassing, Windansea Surf Shop, and then a shop he opened alongside Hank Warner called Harry’s (Harry is both Skip’s and Hank’s given name) which became an institution of surf craft and community. Once larger surfboard blanks became readily available in the late 80’s via Clark Foam, Skip took full advantage and started shaping a lot of his larger boards and gliders that he has become so well known for such as the Eagle and the Fish Simmons. Skip has given so much to the sport of surfing through his humble and kind approach, the shapes he has pioneered, his smooth and classic surfing style, his environmental activism, and his never ending stoke both in the water and out. Skip can still be found hand shaping all of his boards in San Diego, CA most everyday (except for when the surf is good). Devised in the mid 70's, Skip’s single fins are straightforward, have clean lines, and classic curves. Minimalistic in some ways, Skip's fins are made to perform and excel in a supporting role for mid-lengths, thinner planing type boards, eggs, and gliders. If you want to follow in Skip’s footsteps and find that ultimate trim, minimize drag, increase your speed and let the board do the talking... then these are the fin for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-05-10T14:55:49-07:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Skip Frye"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2020-02-06T11:17:09-08:00","alt":null,"width":913,"height":827,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0339\/4613\/collections\/334fb567ef5f89615851cbb56e642646.jpg?v=1581016629"}},{"id":168252996,"handle":"volan","title":"Volan","updated_at":"2021-02-23T19:55:00-08:00","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eEach one of our volan fins are perfectly aligned for optimal weave orientation and cut from the highest quality fiberglass in order to produce fins with the very best performance flex characteristics. These limited supply fins will flex more from the body of the fin which will produce increased speed and projection off the bottom and through turns. Each fin is crafted with a labor of love here at our factory in Santa Barbara, CA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe love using Volan here at True Ames for fins because of the intrinsic properties that the cloth provides which pairs well with our stringent production methods. Compared to our standard fiberglass, Volan is a heavier weight glass with a more coarse and dense weave. We painstakingly layup each 44 layer panel by hand (about 2 hours for a 30x30” panel) in order to achieve a high glass to resin ratio, and also to ensure that the coarse weave is properly saturated - these details further add to the strength, and eventually the flex pattern’s ‘memory’, which is essentially the fin’s ability to endure a large number of reps and then ‘return to center’, all while sustaining a powerful flex. All of our Volan fins are also specifically templated and aligned for optimal weave orientation (about 70* perpendicular to the base) which allow the fins to flex more through the body and ‘trunk’, as opposed to just in the thinner tip area. All in all, we've found that this labor of love results in fins that have the very best flex characteristics that we're able to make. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2016-01-20T13:41:00-08:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"banner","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"volan"},{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"volan"}],"published_scope":"web","image":{"created_at":"2020-02-06T06:16:42-08:00","alt":"","width":1180,"height":238,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0339\/4613\/collections\/af8260b94dec70914632e6a9802912a9.jpg?v=1580998603"}}]
