Skip Frye

Designed by legendary craftsman Skip Frye, this classic single fin is a masterclass in simplicity and function. Originally devised in the mid-1970s to complement Skip’s iconic Eggs and Gliders, it features clean lines, minimal rake, and smooth, controlled flex for effortless trim and flow. Whether run as a single fin or in a 2+1, this template is built to reduce drag, increase speed, and let graceful, rail-driven surfing take center stage.

Form: Slight / minimal rake and medium flex
Function: Can be used as a single fin or also works great in a 2+1
Feel: Lively and fluid, with plenty of responsiveness
Overall: 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. Pairs well with mid-lengths, thinner planing-type boards, or shapes that rely on pinched rails or long rail lines to do the heavy lifting
