Udo….I’m chasing a good cheap version of future fins AM2. Amy brand you can recommend? I’m not keen to pay $150 for fins . Anyone tried these?

https://www.amazon.com.au/Future-FINS-Surfboard-Fiberglass-Surfing/dp/B…

I’m sure they’re legit with a sales blurb including the following:
“ Suitable for many different surfboards, not limited to shortboards, longboards, kayaks or stand-up paddleboards, so you can enjoy surfing activities well.“

Well the pics have futures but the title says dual tab?
So who knows what you'll get.
And there's a french canadian review if you scroll down the page that says their am2s were smaller than a medium set.

lostdoggy Sunday, 9 Oct 2022 at 08:08 am

Also, if you're looking 2nd hand, the Jordy large is pretty similar to AM2 i think.

udo Sunday, 9 Oct 2022 at 08:33 am

@Udo, any chance you could source a set of the fibreglass black and white pyzel medium in futures ? Seems now they have gone composite in that model which is no where near as good.
Cheers

Heaps of options if you do have FB though
Unfortunately, it's the most widely used classifieds now and not much goes up on gumtree and ebay in comparison these days

Udo…can I please take the liberty of extending a big thanks from everyone for your excellent scouring of the surf hardware markets over the years. I Just scored another great surfboard as a direct result of you posting it on here.
Tip-of the hat, mate.

BTW….found a fin co called Akewatu that put out a neo resin AM large futures for $65. Anyone used that neo resin gear?

udo Monday, 10 Oct 2022 at 03:59 pm

Ahh a 7'4" Simon in your Quiver ?
Modii [sanded ?] may have a suitable Fin set.

Hey Udo. No, never did, just rode my 8'6 Webby, or Pyzel Nugget instead. I'll get back on the chase at some point.

udo Monday, 10 Oct 2022 at 04:30 pm

6'3 DS Nice - look forward to a Ride report.

DudeSweetDudeSweet Monday, 10 Oct 2022 at 04:37 pm

Island Bay Monday, 10 Oct 2022 at 05:55 pm

Good luck with your DS, DSDS - hehe.

Here's my 6'4 DS, dwarfed by the 8'6

Get the EA quad set for that DS.

You'll have it for life, guarans.

lostdoggy Monday, 10 Oct 2022 at 07:04 pm

Anyone tried stretch quads on them?
The template looks very close to the EAs but the EAs have flat inner foil on all fins and stretch have a concave on the front and 50/50 on the back.

kooklife Monday, 10 Oct 2022 at 07:31 pm

I am using Futures Alpha Quad on my 6'2 DS and they're working really well.... I use EA on my larger DS but on the smaller everyday board the the added flex gives it a nice feel doing turns, not as stiff as the EAs

lostdoggy Monday, 10 Oct 2022 at 08:19 pm

Nice,
The 3.75 or 4 inch rears?

Feels like I haven't surfed my big ds for years, hasn't been a great winter for big clean swell down this way

Island Bay Tuesday, 11 Oct 2022 at 05:08 am

Same here, goof. Have taken it out on large, wooly days, just for the hell of it. Nothing proper big, though.

Its the F8 Alpha 5 fin set.....I think they are the 4" rears

DudeSweetDudeSweet Tuesday, 11 Oct 2022 at 02:25 pm

What’s with the decimal inches combination? I saw that at Surfstiich and was puzzled. Why not just say 110mm instead of 4.48989 inches or whatever?
