Product Information
Full details
The Deflow Driver Quad fins are designed for surfers looking to blend the loose, fast feel of a twin-fin with the dependable hold and control of a quad setup. Ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers, these fins provide exceptional drive in larger, more powerful surf conditions. While they excel at speed generation, riders should note that the specific raked design requires an active, reactive surfing style to fully unlock their performance potential.

FAQs
Are these fins compatible with FCS boxes?
No, these fins are designed specifically for the Futures fin box system.
What is the primary difference between these and a standard thruster?
The quad configuration generally provides more speed and drive down the line, whereas a thruster often feels more stable and predictable in the pocket.
Can I use these in small, weak waves?
While possible, these fins are optimized for larger, more powerful waves where you can utilize the drive provided by the larger front foils.
What does the 80/20 foil on the rear fins do?
The 80/20 foil is asymmetrical, which provides a blend of lift and hold, offering stability through turns without excessive drag.
How should I clean my fins after a surf?
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and wipe with a soft cloth to remove salt and grit.
Troubleshooting
Fins feel loose in the fin box
Check that the grub screw is fully tightened. If the fin still moves, verify the fin base and box are clean of sand or debris.
Difficulty inserting fins into the box
Ensure the fin box is not damaged and that no salt or grit is obstructing the slot. Do not force the fin; gently wiggle it to seat the pins correctly.
Board feels 'stiff' or unresponsive
Ensure you are using the correct quad setup. If the board lacks speed, try shifting your weight slightly further forward on the tail to engage the front fins more effectively.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent speed generation in varied wave conditions
- Provides more hold than a traditional twin-fin setup
- Highly reactive and pivot-oriented for tight turns
- Quality construction suitable for powerful, large waves
Cons
- Requires an active surfing style to maximize performance
- May feel less stable for riders transitioning from standard thrusters
- Not intended for slow, mushy, or tiny wave conditions
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Deflow Driver Quad fins utilize the standard Futures fin box system (indicated by the FUT suffix).
- Installation: Ensure your fin boxes are free of sand and debris. Slide the front fins into the side boxes and the rear fins into the back boxes, pressing down firmly until seated.
- Securing: Tighten the grub screws using a standard fin key; do not overtighten to avoid stripping the thread.
- Compatibility: Designed specifically for quad-fin compatible surfboards. Check that your board has four compatible fin plugs.
- Care: After every session in saltwater, rinse the fins and fin boxes with fresh water to prevent salt buildup and corrosion. Store your board in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
