Futures Fins JJF Scimitar Vapor Core Thruster Fin Set Red-Carbon L

Built for Small, Powerless Waves

The JJF Scimitar Vapor Core Thruster Fin Set is John John Florence's signature design for performance surfing in small waves. Futures describes it as the fin John rides when he needs to generate speed in conditions that are small and lack power, which is exactly what a surfer searching futures fins surfboard options for weak local swell should be looking at.

Construction and Design

This set features a full Vector foil to help enhance lift and generate speed, along with a Scimitar Tip, the cut-off portion of the fin that tailors its grip characteristics. It is built in Vapor Core construction, which Futures describes as the lightest performance fin construction the brand has made, using a hollow core. Futures classifies the template category as Pivot, built for tight, quick turns, and every fin is handmade at the brand's Huntington Beach, California headquarters using aerospace grade materials.

Who Should Ride This Set

Because this template is built specifically to generate speed in small, weak surf, it suits a surfer who spends most sessions in soft, underpowered conditions rather than chasing overhead swell. That makes it a strong match for South Florida's typical wind swell and beach break days, where generating and holding speed matters more than holding a rail through a powerful section.

Fitting, Installing, and Caring for the Set

Confirm your board runs a Futures-compatible fin box before ordering, and use the size selector on this listing to match the set to your weight. Futures fins install and remove from the box without glue. Because Vapor Core construction uses a hollow core to save weight, rinse the set in fresh water after saltwater sessions and store it away from hard impacts and prolonged direct sun to protect the lightweight build.

About Futures Fins

Futures Fins was founded by the Longo brothers, who brought an aerospace and hydrogen fuel cell engineering background to fin design starting in 1996, applying that materials know-how to surfing.
