Foil Details

A well designed fin does more then keep you from spinning out.

The degree of foil - the curved cross section of the fin, along with the angle (how the fin tilts in relation to the bottom of the board), toe and other factors can add different dimensions to the feel of your board.
The foils can create projection, torque, speed, manoeuvrability and release, and affect your board dramatically.
Future Fins has created some of the most successful foils available, with decades of experience and testing, along with pro riders input, and input from the average surfer going into every series.


Water Attachment/ Release

Our Foils are designed to release at different points in a turn. Flat fins release early to control speed and have a narrow powerband. The Vectors and Scimitarare designed to hold onto water (attachment) and in turn create more speed, longer throughout the turn - bets for smaller conditions when you need to generate more speed and larger waves when you need to blast around sections.


Traditional Foil:

Proven Success- The end results of rider tested, validated fin designs will always form our foundation.
Future's traditional fin line-up has templates for every size, shape, expertise, and style of rider, from finely-tuned smaller templates for Groms and Girls (what our pro team ride like John-John or Keala Kennelly) to full-size templates for pro talent like Ry Craike, Mikala Jones, and Pancho Sullivan.

Vector Foils:

Vector V.1

For increased speed & thrust - A unique patented Vector Foil creates lift in the same way an airplane does.
Curved on both sides - as opposed to a Traditional Foil with a flat inner face, the extra lift creates projection and increases water attachment which also increases drive and speed.

Vector II

A vector Foil and Traditional Foil blend- takes the best speed generating attributes of the Vector foil (at the base) and transitions into a flat foil in the tip for a controlled release in critical turns.
Rustyand the pro team have helped develop this hybrid which keeps your surfing smooth and progressive.

3/2

Putting a new wrinkle on fin design- Dual Plane angles for speed/response, enhance water attachment throughout more of the turn, decreasing drag.
Favored by Tim Curranand other surfers with a fast and loose style, this fin was designed for point break and powerful waves, to get you around sections, while keeping speed through turns.

3/2/1

Triple Plane angles for speed/response- The most innovative fin on the market, the 3/2/1 combines three separate planes, creating three angles of attack.
Drag is reduced dramatically, and your board will feel faster and looser. David Rastovich and Mikala Jonesfind this fin to be unsurpassed in waves under 10-12 feet. Designed for punchy beach breaks, with tight and crisp top to bottom surfing in mind.

Scimitar

A new twist on the Vector series- The latest in a long line of successful leaps in fin evolution, the Scimitar is variable-plane fin, based on a variable-based algorithm.
Starting with our Vector foil, the fin twists from base to the lip, allowing for different plane angles to focus lift where demands of your water pressure are highest - from down-the-line drive at the base of the fin, to the tip for fin-releasing turns.
