Product Information
Full details
The Deflow Surf Bee Thrusters in Tan are designed for surfers seeking a highly versatile, all-conditions fin that balances drive and agility. As a staple of the Core Collection, these fins are perfect for intermediate to advanced riders who want a reliable, predictable feel in various wave types. While they excel in everyday surf, their specific honeycomb construction and refined tip profile mean they might lack the specialized rigidity required for extreme, heavy-water conditions.

FAQs
What is the primary material used in these fins?
These fins are constructed using a honeycomb core, which provides a lightweight build and a predictable flex pattern.
Are these fins suitable for beginners?
Yes, their predictable and balanced design makes them an excellent choice for surfers looking to improve their board control.
Does this fin fit FCS boxes?
No, this specific model (S1036.02-TAN-FUT-S) is designed specifically for the Futures fin system.
What does the 4/5 flex rating mean?
A 4/5 flex rating indicates the fin has a moderate amount of flex, providing a balance between drive and responsiveness.
Can I use these for longboarding?
These are designed as a thruster set for shortboards and hybrids; they are not intended for single-fin longboard setups.
Troubleshooting
Fin feels loose in the box
Check if the grub screw is tightened properly or if sand has accumulated inside the fin box.
Difficult to insert into the box
Ensure the fin box is free of debris and salt buildup; use a small amount of vegetable oil on the fin base if friction persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These fins are designed exclusively for the Futures fin system. To install, insert the rear tab into the box first, then press down the front of the fin until it sits flush against the board. Ensure the grub screw is tightened securely using a standard FCS/Futures key.
To maintain the longevity of your fins, always rinse them with fresh water after every session to prevent salt buildup in the fin boxes. Avoid leaving your board in direct sunlight for extended periods, as intense heat can affect the integrity of the resin and the bond between the fin box and the board. Inspect the base periodically for any hairline cracks or sand debris.
