Product Information

Full details

The Futures FT1 Thermotech Twin Surfboard Fins are designed for surfers seeking enhanced drive and release, particularly in small waves. They offer a unique, consistent flex thanks to their Thermotech material and feature the durable Futures Truss Base. While providing a lively feel, the primary caveat is their specific design for smaller wave conditions, which may limit performance in larger swells. Key features include their lightweight construction, tool-less installation system, and the option to add a trailer fin for increased stability.

FAQs

What type of waves are these fins best suited for?

The Futures FT1 Thermotech Twin fins are specifically designed for small to medium-sized waves, offering excellent performance and maneuverability in these conditions.

Can I use these fins with any surfboard?

Yes, these fins are compatible with any surfboard that has the Futures Fin System. They are available in size Medium.

What is Thermotech material?

Thermotech is a material used by Futures that provides a unique, consistent flex pattern, contributing to enhanced drive and release through turns.

Do I need tools to install these fins?

No, Futures fins utilize a tool-less system, allowing for quick and easy installation and removal by hand.

How does adding a trailer fin affect performance?

Adding a smaller trailer fin provides increased stability and hold, giving the setup a feel closer to a thruster while retaining some of the looseness of a twin fin.

What is the main benefit of the Truss Base?

The Truss Base is designed to be lightweight yet strong, offering durability and a secure fit for the fin.

Are these fins good for larger, more powerful waves?

These fins are optimized for smaller waves. For larger or more powerful conditions, a different fin template or size might be more appropriate to suit the wave's energy.

Troubleshooting

Fins feel loose in the box.

Ensure the fins are fully inserted into the boxes until they click. If they still feel loose, check the fin boxes for any debris. For persistent looseness, consider Futures' fin alignment shims (sold separately) or contact Futures customer support.

Reduced performance or sluggish feel.

This can occur if the fins are not suited for the wave conditions. For small waves, they should perform well. If in larger surf, consider a different fin setup. Also, check for any damage or excessive wear on the fins.

Fins are difficult to remove.

Gently wiggle the fin from side to side while pulling upwards. Avoid using excessive force. If sand or debris is present, rinse the fin and box with fresh water.
