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/B0...

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.

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

@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?

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.

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

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?
