Γ-Fin Type3 11’Flex Volan (Used)
Developed jointly by Alternative Mart and Fin Craftman, the Γ-Fin is a handcrafted fin designed specifically for Halu, Edge Board, and Vee Bottom surfboards. Unlike mass-produced fins from China, this fin emphasizes craftsmanship, with extensive testing and meetings leading to its release. It offers superior quality and performance compared to other fin manufacturers.
The Type3 fin was originally designed for Vee Bottom boards from the late 1960s. Made with epoxy resin laminated to the volan, it balances high flex and recovery. It enables faster takeoff from small waves and eliminates the negative turn characteristic typical of Vee Bottom boards. Suitable for longboards and mid-length boards as a high-performance flex fin.
Condition: Minor scratches due to use; still functional and usable as is.
※For use with PIGS-N-HULLS Vee Bottom boards, it may feel slightly stiffer.

I used this fin on my Vee Bottom board and noticed a significant improvement in takeoff, especially on small waves. The flex and recovery feel balanced, making turns smoother. Minor scratches are visible but don’t affect performance. Great craftsmanship.

Felt more responsive than standard fins I’ve tried. Works well on my mid-length board. A bit stiffer than expected on PIGS-N-HULLS, but still effective. Handmade quality is evident in the build.
Amanda Mills –
After switching to the Type3, my board feels more agile. The flex is just right for small wave riding. No issues with durability or performance. Would recommend to Vee Bottom users.
