Fins

Futures collaborated with Grant Noble to create a single fin suited for longboards in the 9’2” – 10’+ range. Grant’s fin features a lot of rake accompanied by a wide base with added stiffness, providing excellent drive and stability.

• Construction | Fiberglass 

The Zack Flores single fin is designed to get the best performance out of a modern classic longboard. This fin has the perfect blend of rake and base to hold for nose rides and turns, and maintain speed while trimming.

• Template Category | Flex Template
• Construction | Fiberglass
• Setup | Single fin

The Ando 7.8” Single Fin, designed with Australian modern stylist Craig Anderson was made to match his timeless style and smooth demeanor. Craig typically rides his single fin waves of consequence, think Teahpoo, so this fin offers stability at high speed, but can easily convert in other single fin designs. This is a great template for your single fin short-board, mid-length and eggs.

• Template Category | Pivot (tight-turns/loose)
• Construction | Fiberglass
• Size | Medium Longboard

The Christenson Keel was designed with retro twin fins in mind. This keel template is the most upright keel in the Futures line. It allows for great speed and control down the line, making it one of the most versatile keels in the Futures line up.

• Construction | Fiberglass

The Mikey February signature keel fin is designed to enhance performance on fish style boards. We preserved the traditional characteristics of a keel fin, such as hold and down-the-line drive, all while adding a looser, more responsive feel when the board is put on rail. We maintained the base length, area, and tip rake to retain the keel’s essence, but reduced the area through the center of the fin to increase responsiveness, just as Mikey envisioned. Constructed from solid fiberglass, this set features inverted colorways between the left and right fins. This fin set performs exceptionally well across a wide range of traditional fish boards.

The Rasta Twin +1 was developed to compliment Dave Rastovich’s classic surfing style. The Rasta Twin features Futures’ V Foil, allowing for smooth rail to rail transitions. The upright design and Speed Generating foil will bring an added level of performance to any Twin + 1 board.

• Construction - Honeycomb w/ Carbon

Britt Merrick’s signature twin fin set (BMT), is designed to fit between a traditional upright and keel fin. While conceived to maximize the performance and flow of the new CI Twin Pin, the setup works great in any twin fin board when you are looking for the perfect combination of drive, hold, and release.

• Construction - Fiberglass

The Christenson 5-fin is a new pivot style template for quick in-the-pocket surfing. The quad rears are flat foiled allowing for more speed and release off the top. 

• Template Category - Pivot (tight turns | quick)
• Construction - Honeycomb
• Ride Number - Balanced 5.9 – (tri) / 5.0 (quad)
• Suggested Wave Type - Beach breaks | In the pocket
• Size - Medium (125 – 175 lbs)

 

The F8 Legacy 5-fin is a large sized set in the Neutral template category.  The Honeycomb construction gives a balanced feel for all-around performance. The rear fins are the QD2 4.15 with Symmetrical foil. The 5-fin set is designed to be ridden as either a Thruster or Quad set-up, packaged together for more versatility through your quiver.

• Template Category - Neutral (all-around | versatile)
• Construction - Honeycomb
• Ride Number - Balanced – 5.6 (tri) / 5.4 (quad)
• Suggested Wave Type - All types | All conditions
• Size - Large (165+ lbs)

"Sometimes the path forward leads us by looking back. In 2008 and 2009, while building boards and filming for 5’5” REDUX, we got into designing fish and other alternative boards around a Twin+2 setup. Basically a Quad, but with twin fins up front, and what were essentially longboard “side bites” as the rear quads. Cory Lopez famously rode this setup during the iconic segment of him slaying Skeleton Bay, on one of the first ever documented strike missions there. He also nailed a SURFER Mag cover, doing an air, in Indo, with the fin setup clearly visible.

Over the last year or so, I revisited this concept and have been personally having a blast, working with Futures to get it tested and developed. Using the new "medium sized" Evil Twin template up front and pairing with two 80/20 foiled, downsized rear quads, we felt we nailed it. After playing with varying cants, flexes, and visuals, we are proud to announce and release the all NEW EVIL TWIN+2…or should we say EVIL QUAD.

To celebrate the release of the Evil Quad and Evil Twin we updated the graphics and cant angle of the original EvilTwin, as well. All three options come resplendent in radiant color, by LongToe laminations" Mayhem 

• Construction - Honeycomb 
  
• Template Category - Evil Quad
• Ride Number - Balanced – 6.8

The Rasta Quad, designed by Australian freesurfing icon Dave Rastovich, is a versatile set that will suit almost any quad option board. The honeycomb construction combined with Futures’ V2-Foil on the front fins creates a looser feel, allowing for high-speed surfing and quick direction changes.

• Size - Medium Quad (145-175 lbs)
• Construction - Honeycomb 
• Ride Number - Balanced - 7.7
• Suggested Wave Type - All types | All conditions

 

The John John Florence Signature Scimitar thruster in Vapor Core construction is designed for performance surfing in small waves. John rides this fin when he needs to generate speed when the waves are small and lack power. These fins feature a full Vector foil, helping enhance lift and generate speed. The Scimitar Tip is represented by the cut-off portion of the fin, tailoring the grip characteristics. Vapor Core is the lightest performance fin construction ever, consisting of a hollow core. Every single fin is handmade from start to finish at our HQ in Huntington Beach, CA, using aerospace grade materials.

• Construction - Vapor Core
• Size - Large (165 + lbs)
