True Ames Greenough Power Glide 45 – 8.25″
締造流暢轉向與強大驅動力的單舵典範
這款 Greenough Power Glide 45 是 True Ames 與傳奇設計大師 George Greenough 緊密合作下的最新力作。承襲經典 Power Blade 概念，加大的傾角、面積與彎度設計，在操控性與流線性能上更上一層樓。
產品亮點
✨ 順滑轉彎
採用更大的傾角（約32°），比前代更能輕鬆完成大弧線轉彎，讓你在波面上滑行時既穩定又自在。
✨ 穩定而有力
更大的表面積意味著更強的穩定性，無論中長板或經典單舵設計，都能感受到扎實的推進力。
✨ 靈敏而富彈性
特別調校的材質與結構，使舵身上半部擁有出色的彈性與扭力。這種所謂 variable-tow 的特性能在轉向時提供額外的推進與流暢感，猶如舵在水中呼吸一樣。
✨ 優質材料與結構
採用高密度環氧與玻璃纖維複合材精密製作，兼顧彈性表現與長期耐用性，是一把既能表現又能陪你走很久的舵。
適用性廣泛
不只是單舵迷的心頭好。這款設計在保持經典單舵流暢性的同時，加入現代性能特質，是追求穩定推進與更流線轉向的衝浪者理想之選。
We proudly present the Power Glide 45, the newest design in our continually evolving Greenough collection. This design builds upon many of the same elements found in its predecessor, the Power Blade, yet it has been further refined into a more approachable and user-friendly fin that is ready for a wider range of applications and continued experimentation.
In close collaboration with George Greenough, we modified the outline of the Power Blade into what is now the Power Glide 45, which incorporates more rake, more area, more flex, and softer curves. The ‘45’ in the name of this design refers to the rake which appears as if it is approaching a 45° angle (the actual rake is 32°, which is 9° more than its predecessor). The additional rake in this fin allows for a more generous turning radius as well as a touch more forgiveness overall. Suitably named the ‘Power Glide’, this fin will hold its line through larger and smoother arcing turns. In addition to the added rake, this fin also has more overall area than the Power Blade, which will feel a bit more steady and reliable under your feet. Lastly, the Power Glide 45 has a greater amount of flex, resulting in a more responsive and adaptable performance.
Despite its modifications, the Power Glide 45 remains rooted in the same lineage as the Power Blade; as such, it shares many fundamental similarities. One such core element in its design is that it requires the stiffness and performance integrity of an extremely strong ‘leg’ in order to support the enormous load on the ‘head’. Another key factor in its design is the ability of the ‘head’ to twist, as opposed to only flex, like most all other fins. This produces ‘variable-tow,’ an attribute which allows the fin to twist back and forth and in turn create propulsion based on the angle and direction of attack. Lastly, meticulous material selection has resulted in a unique lay-up combination of high-density epoxy and fiberglass materials that have met the strength requirements, without suffering fatigue and breaking down the fibers. Like the Power Blade, the careful construction of the Power Glide 45 meets three distinct and rigorous demands: stiffness where needed, particular flex characteristics, and the ability to twist.
A direct descendant of continued testing and design revisions, the Power Glide 45 is not meant to replace the Power Blade. It was simply created to serve a larger audience and a wider range of board designs through its additional rake, added area, and increased flex. We are stoked to continue to push the boundaries and capabilities of single fin designs alongside Greenough and his continual pursuit to find the perfect blend of minimal drag and increased speed together with hyper-sensitive response and maneuverability.
- Designed for boards in the mid-sized range
- Like its predecessor, the Power Blade, it was crafted to rival the high-performance characteristics of the thruster, while preserving the fluidity and style of a classic single fin
- Relative to the Power Blade, its additional rake, added area, and increased flex make it a bit more adaptable to a larger audience and a wider range of applications
- Proprietary in-house construction made using a blend of heat-treated and bonded high-strength materials
