True Ames Pavel Dynaflow

While a pivot fin is designed strictly for tight turning and noseriding, the Dynaflow features a raked tip that allows for more fluid, drawn-out turns. It offers the stability you need for the nose without sacrificing the ability to carve through the middle of the wave.

The flared base is designed to provide extra stability and hold. It locks the fin into the water, which helps keep your board steady when you are noseriding or trimming down the line.

Yes, it is specifically designed for pigs and transition-era boards. The flared base provides the hold required for these shapes, while the upright profile helps you navigate the wider tails common on those designs.

It is a hybrid design. While the upright profile allows for fluid, round turns, the raked tip helps you maintain momentum. It is versatile enough to handle both tighter pivot turns and smoother, more drawn-out lines.

Solid fiberglass provides a stiff, consistent flex pattern that feels predictable underfoot. Unlike plastic or composite fins, this material offers a solid, reliable engagement with the water, which is ideal for the trim-heavy style of longboarding.

A 9.8-inch depth is standard for most traditional longboards and logs. If you are riding a board in the 9'0" to 10'0" range, this size will provide the necessary hold and stability without feeling overly stiff.

Solid fiberglass offers a more consistent flex pattern and better durability than plastic or composite options. It provides a reliable, snappy feel in the water that many traditional surfers prefer for its responsiveness.

A 9.8-inch depth is standard for most traditional longboards, providing the necessary surface area to lock the tail in during noserides. If you are riding a board 9'6" or longer, this size will provide the stability you need; if your board is significantly shorter, you might find it creates too much drag.

The matte finish reduces drag slightly compared to a high-gloss surface and is generally more durable against minor scratches. It also provides a cleaner, more understated look that complements the classic aesthetic of traditional logs.

While it is engineered for traditional logs, pigs, and transition-era shapes, it can work on modern boards if you are looking to slow things down and focus on flow. However, it is specifically optimized for boards with more volume and a traditional rocker profile.
