True Ames Lovelace Piggyback Keel
Best high performance upgrade for twin fin surfboard enthusiasts.
These fins finally solve the classic twin-fin dilemma by trimming the bulk of a traditional keel into a more agile, upright template. You sacrifice a bit of that locked-in, heavy-drive sensation, but you gain the freedom to actually whip the board around in tighter, more modern pockets.
