About the product

WHAT IS A VECTOR FOIL
Vector is a proprietary Futures foil featuring a concave surface on the inside of the front fins. Specifically in the Vector, the concave runs from the base to the tip of the fin, increasing water attachment and lift.

WHAT IS A 3/2
3/2 is a complement to the Vector foil, where the top half of the fin has an additional 3 degrees of cant and 2 degrees of toe. There is a noticeable twist to the foil, changing the planing angle in the turn at sharper angles of attack, creating lift and hold further into the turn.

PERFORMANCE BENEFITS OF THE VECTOR 3/2
The Vector 3/2 is an amplified Speed Generating fin, as a result of maximum water attachment, over multiple planing surfaces, creating lift and reducing drag. The combined effects of the concave surface area, from base to tip, and the twist in the upper half of the fin net a uniquely positive sensation of grip and projection. In smaller waves, the feeling of speed generation is fluid and obvious. As the surf increases, the water attachment and additional lift properties provide powerful connection in turns and increased speed from one to the next, resulting in faster surfing and better turns.

BENEFITS OF THE SCIMITAR TIP
The Scimitar Tip is the flattened edge of the tip on the trailing edge of the fin. By reducing the length of the template, we’re affecting the amount of hold the fin will have. The 3/2 foil is designed to create lift and speed, so the surface area in the tip has been reduced to tighten up the turn arc, as a compliment to the 3/2 foil. This template features a lot of surface area in the base, maximizing the potential of the foil properties through the body of the fin, finishing with this final tip enhancement to achieve the desired feeling of release from the turn.
SCIMITAR TIPs a final component to the overall Vector 3/2 set, the center fin template has been specifically designed to provide thrust into turns, while reducing drag and shortening the turn arc. The specific adjustment comes in the tip area, with a more refined Scimitar shape that is narrower than the side fins and has just a touch more rake. The trailing edge has a deeper inward curve, elongating the upper half of the fin for a touch more flex. While aesthetically similar to the side template, the refined center fin adds the perfect amount of response to complement the engineered elements of the Vector 3/2 foil on the side fins.

About the brand

Futures Fins began in a garage in California in 1996.

The Longo brothers had a reputation for tackling challenging aerospace parts and fabricating hydrogen fuel cells for research, but in 1996 they decided to combine their technical know-how with something they loved: surfing. They have always considered building locally extremely important, and now this allows them at Futures to dream up a fin, design it, cut it, and surf it, all in a matter of hours under one roof in Huntington Beach. With this ability, they constantly evolve their designs, creating new feelings and new experiences. Sharing these new innovations with other surfers is what fuels their devotion to progression.

As innovators, they are driven to improve, to never settle. Each wave is an opportunity to develop, to learn, and grow. Surfers have been riding waves for hundreds of years, and it is with deep respect that they continually refine surf equipment with feedback from the elite surfers and shapers in the world. They continue to learn together so that they can in turn equip the beginning surfer to the world champ with the right product and clear information so they can easily dial in their equipment. This is why they spend their resources on tools like The Ride Number and a bunch of in-house engineers instead of relying on the next flashy advertising campaign.

They believe this is why surfers all over the world consider Futures the ultimate source for exceptional performance surf equipment created by surfers for surfers. It is about being authentic, challenging the status quo, and standing for the evolution of their sport. Sometimes it is even about pushing beyond what appears to make sense because they believe that they can’t find their limits unless they try to push past them. That is why they were the first to make a pre-lamination fin box that gets its strength from the fiberglass. Then later, when surfers were testing the limits of waves that were no longer paddle-able, they were the first to develop stiff stable big wave fins. They continue to develop new products like Alpha and tools like Ride Number. These are just the beginning. They would love to tell you more about the next products that are coming, but they can’t. At least just not yet. Thank you for joining them on this journey.
