True Ames Greenough 4A Fin – Legendary Flow & Drive
At Seaside Surf Shop, the True Ames Greenough 4A Fin stands out as a must-have for surfers chasing smooth, controlled, and powerful turns. Designed by surf innovator George Greenough, the 4A template has become a benchmark in single fin performance, blending classic feel with functional, high-speed capability.
The Greenough 4A features a balanced, raked outline with a flexible tip that allows for fluid rail-to-rail transitions and drawn-out carving turns. It provides excellent hold through critical sections while maintaining release and projection when you push harder off the bottom.
Why the Greenough 4A Works
Raked template for long, controlled arcs and down-the-line speed
Flexible tip adds spring and responsiveness through turns
Solid base delivers drive and stability in a variety of conditions

Conditions & Performance
Perfect for the diverse waves around the Oregon coast, the 4A excels in:

It helps you maintain speed through softer sections while still holding strong when the wave steepens.
