FAQs

What makes the Son of Cobra Twin fins different from standard twin fins?

The primary difference is the specialized 7.5-degree cant angle, which is greater than the typical 4 degrees. This encourages more drive and a different feel through turns, optimized for specific board designs.

What type of surfboard is best suited for these fins?

These fins are best suited for Post-modern Twin fins, especially those with deep double concave bottom shapes. They are particularly recommended for boards like the …Lost Cobra Killer and CI Twin Pin.

Are these fins compatible with FCS fin systems?

No, the Son of Cobra Twin fins are designed exclusively for the Futures Fin System and are not compatible with FCS or other fin systems.

What is the construction material of these fins?

The fins are made from solid fiberglass, providing a rigid and responsive feel for optimal performance.

Will this cant angle work on my standard twin fin board?

While they may fit, the 7.5-degree cant angle is specifically tuned for boards designed to work with it. Surfers might find it enhances drive on some boards but could feel unusual or less effective on boards not designed for a deeper cant.

How do I install these fins?

Install them by sliding the fin tab into the corresponding slot in the Futures Fin System box on your surfboard. They are designed for a tool-less, screw-less installation and should lock securely.

What does 'Neutral Template' mean for a fin?

A 'Neutral Template' generally means the fin shape is balanced and provides an all-around performance profile, suitable for a wide range of conditions and surfing styles without being overly specialized towards extreme speed or maneuverability.

Troubleshooting

Fins feel loose in the box

Ensure the fins are fully seated. The Futures system is designed to be snug; if there's significant play, check the fin box and fin tabs for debris or damage. Contact Futures customer support if the issue persists.

Reduced performance or unpredictable behavior

Verify that the fins are installed in the correct orientation and fully seated. Ensure the cant angle is appropriate for your board and surfing style. Check for any damage to the fins or fin boxes.

Difficulty removing fins

Gently twist and pull the fin upwards. Avoid excessive force. If resistance is met, a small amount of clean water or specialized fin removal lubricant (use sparingly) can help. Ensure sand or debris is not causing the issue.
