Pivot Performance Built for the Pocket
The Futures Fins Rasta Twin+1 Honeycomb-Carbon set is engineered around the Pivot template, a design built for tight turns, looseness, and staying right in the pocket. The Pivot/Keel geometry delivers a lively, skatey feel underfoot while the Honeycomb-Carbon layup keeps the fins stiff where drive counts and light where it matters for release.
This is a three-fin set: two matched side fins plus a center stabilizer. The twin configuration puts the emphasis on flow and pivot-style acceleration, while the center fin lets you dial in hold and directional control depending on your setup. The result is a versatile Twin+1 that rewards surfers who like to generate speed from the rail through the pocket.
Honeycomb-Carbon Construction
The Honeycomb-Carbon layup combines a structural honeycomb core with carbon fiber reinforcement. The honeycomb core removes dead weight from the interior without sacrificing panel stiffness, and the carbon fiber skin adds snap and response that fiberglass alone cannot match. You get a fin that is noticeably lighter than a full-glass equivalent, with a crisper feel through each turn.
Futures Fins was founded in 1996 by the Longo brothers, who brought an aerospace fabrication background to the surf industry. That heritage shows in the precision layup and the consistency of the Futures tab system, which locks the fin base securely and transfers energy from your foot directly to the foil.
Side Fin Specifications
The side fins are shaped around the Pivot template. The V2 foil on the side fins promotes water acceleration along the inside face, which translates to drive off the bottom and speed through the pocket. The geometry favors a looser, more pivoting arc rather than a long, drawn-out carve.
Center Fin
The center fin runs a symmetrical foil, which is the standard choice for a stabilizer in a Twin+1 setup. A symmetrical foil contributes even resistance on both sides, giving the board predictable hold without pulling the tail in either direction. Paired with the Pivot-template side fins, it keeps the setup loose while adding the control a center fin is meant to provide.
Futures Tab System
All three fins use the Futures single-tab base. The tab system is widely regarded as one of the most secure and energy-efficient attachment systems in surfing: no rattle, no movement, and a direct connection between the fin and the board. Installation and removal require no tools: press in, click, and surf.
Who This Set Is For
Surfers who want to unlock the drive and looseness of a twin-fin setup without sacrificing the hold option a center fin provides will find the Rasta Twin+1 a natural fit. The Pivot template suits surfers who prioritize generating speed through direction changes and tight pocket surfing over long, rail-to-rail carves. The Honeycomb-Carbon layup is suited to surfers who want a performance-grade fin without the weight of a full-glass construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a Twin+1 and a standard twin fin setup?
- A Twin+1 uses two side fins plus a smaller center stabilizer fin, giving you the flow and pivot of a twin while adding a degree of hold and directional control. A pure twin has no center fin, which increases looseness but can feel sketchier in larger surf or on boards with a lot of tail rocker.
- What does the Pivot template do?
- The Pivot template is designed for tight-turning, loose surfing right in the pocket. The template geometry allows the tail to swing and pivot more freely compared to a upright or swept template, which suits surfers who want a skatey, reactive feel rather than a long drawn-out carve.
- What is the Honeycomb-Carbon construction?
- Honeycomb-Carbon combines a lightweight honeycomb core with a carbon fiber skin. The honeycomb removes interior mass without sacrificing stiffness, and the carbon layer adds snap and responsiveness. The result is a fin that is lighter than a fiberglass equivalent and delivers crisper energy transfer through turns.
- Are Futures Fins compatible with all surfboards?
- Futures Fins use the Futures single-tab system. They are compatible with any surfboard that has Futures fin boxes installed. They are not compatible with FCS or other box systems without an adapter.
- What is the Ride Number and what does 7.0 Speed Generating mean?
- Futures Fins rates each fin on a Ride Number scale that combines drive, pivot, and speed characteristics. A Speed Generating rating of 7.0 indicates this fin set is tuned toward producing speed through the pocket and off the bottom, favoring acceleration over neutral hold.
- Can I use just the twin side fins without the center fin?
- Yes. Boards with a Twin+1 or 2+1 fin setup can be surfed as a pure twin by leaving the center box empty. This increases looseness and flow but reduces hold in powerful surf. The center fin is included in this set so you have the option to use it or leave it out depending on conditions.
- Where can I buy Futures Fins Rasta Twin+1 fins?
- The Futures Fins Rasta Twin+1 Honeycomb-Carbon set is available in store and online at Island Water Sports in South Florida.
