Greenough High Speed (Volan)

About this fin

The Greenough High Speed excels as its name implies –at high speeds . It is perhaps one of the truest examples of George Greenough’s revolutionary high-aspect ratio fin designs; similar to the wings of an airplane, its slender design will harness heaps of power and produce lift while maintaining very low drag. Longer, point break style waves make a prime venue to realize this fin’s full potential. Greenough is the man behind a continual evolution of wave-riding innovations that are widely attributed for paving the way from traditional longboarding to high-performance surfing in the pocket. He originally designed the High Speed to accompany his “Edge” boards, which have been described by renowned shaper Marc Andreini as “ two surfboards in one: a narrow concave tow board with hard edges, nose to tail, is shaped underneath a displacement hull with full lifted rails.” Like Greenough’s Edge boards, his High Speed fin works in all conditions, and prevails well in powerful surf. No matter Greenough’s original intentions for this fin, it has evolved and been proven by many to work wonderfully in a wide variety of board types–from mid-lengths to gliders, and everything in between.
