Will these fins improve your surfing? Reviewing the all new Futures Fins Alpha Vector 3/2

[@tonyfoster7892]

I got these Alpha Vector 3/2 fins and they work insane!!

[@fredericjoncour3514]

Do you think it could be a good idea for a beginner/intermediate surfer ?

[@tonyfoster7892]

Yes@@fredericjoncour3514...These fins can loosen up a stiff surfboard by providing more lift and speed! They great get up and go speed in smaller surf that a beginner/intermediate surfer would mostly be riding. Higly recommend these fins on a small wave board using the large. And medium on your average shortboard.

The new 3/2 fins futures has been making are insane. I have the Solus 3/2 with the hatchet as the trailer and I can stop using them. I can’t wait to try the vectors.

[@marcopaoletti5420]

I was almost selling my new board as I couldn't click with it...tryed pivot, neutral 2+1...none was working as I thought...then srewed these, and i'm loving it. So fast , responsive, made the board light and juicy. Loved them

[@used_surf]

@@marcopaoletti5420 no way, that's sick! Yeah it's a good idea to try to explore fin options. Glad you landed on a good one eventually!

[@JaxsonS-j9m]

Good review, would be cool to see C-Drive fins reviewed in the future!

[@taradead]

When Futures first started, all their fins where multi foiled and canted. Seems like, once they broke into FCS's monopoly (due to Future's single screw boxes...not fins), they quit making all the trippy "Klingon" fin designs. Cool to see they've come back around to exploring that further.

[@used_surf]

Yeah I agree, you know it's been my estimation that surfers don't really like to stray too far too fast from the norm.

[@1360films]

How do these compare to the old school Vectors from Futures?

[@tubedus]

Hi! Very good review … based on your feeling what fin size you may choose if you are 177 pounds (81kg)? Thanks

[@shanebaird543]

Large

[@tadashiyoshida3674]

Tried it on my Cymatic as a quad and it went off in windy 2-3 ft slop🤙🤙

[@used_surf]

sick stoked to hear that

[@alang253]

you think these would go good in an RNF? over a t1+trailer

[@gianlucasenes2264]

Awesome insights.These have some similarities with the tokoro, which are the differences you would highlight after trying them both?

[@used_surf]

Tokoro I would say are more predictable, vector 3/2 have a little more drive therefore sacrificing a bit of looseness.

[@gianlucasenes2264]

Appreciated the feedback guys. Shoukd you ever start the fin trial program​ over Spain, i am in. Guess not likely to happen 😂@used_surf @@used_surf

[@mjstatic77]

How do these compare to the John John Scimatar fins?

[@used_surf]

@@mjstatic77 the JJF scimitars have a little shorter base and not quite as raked back....more pivot. Check our channel, we just did a review of them.

[@mjstatic77]

@ thanks….yea I think I saw it, I’ll check again. Obviously the JJF are vapour core as well yea so different flex and lighter right

[@marcopaoletti5420]

Hi All! Would you go these or f8 blackstix or f8 alpha, in small mushi waves looking for speed on a grovelly pulled it swallow tail at 36 lt? How does the new vector flex? Thank s

[@used_surf]

I would go the f8 blackstix, that speed generation is key is grovlers. The new vector has a medium feeling flex, stiff but not too stiff.

[@marcopaoletti5420]

@@used_surf thank s!! I ll try f8 or even p8 in blackstix

[@cncmillman]

Don't think you stock MFC fins but can you review the JS thrusters, they have a longer base than any fin I know of.

[@bonsummers2657]

I've got the original issue 3/2 with the 4.5 and 4.25 hatchet fins (choose one), and they're buff/light colored,…. thankfully not black. Black is just sheep-dom. I prefer white fins.

[@used_surf]

@@bonsummers2657 sick...yeah I found and old set as well with the hatchet fin. Cool they are bringing them back and JJF new template is using the concept

[@RolandAmundsen]

How would you compare these to the Tokoros? Thanks.

[@used_surf]

Tokoro I would say are more predictable, vector 3/2 have a little more drive, and sacrificing a bit of looseness.

[@seamonkey2641]

These remind me of Scimitar fins I have. Similar template?

[@used_surf]

Yeah exactly. I have some sets of those as well back in the day I felt like they had like two or three variations of this theory.

[@MrRobinski]

Do they make them in honeycomb?

[@used_surf]

Not that I know of at this point

[@Jbird-cx9rc]

I know you brahs briefly mentioned it, but cmon, they are made from old fishing nets. The combination of recycled materials and innovation into this old design is mind blowing. Should have been a bigger talking point fo sho. The future of fins

[@bonsummers2657]

But, black fins are boring to see.

[@used_surf]

Black is core!

[@bonsummers2657]

White is tight, for flight @@used_surf
