Future Fins P8 Alpha Thruster Fin Set Carbon-Red L

A large thruster built from recycled ocean plastic

Surfers searching for a future fins alpha thruster or comparing the P8 to the rest of the Alpha lineup are looking at a large sized set in the Pivot template category. It is made in Huntington Beach and pairs Bureo's NetPlus recycled fishing nets with Futures' Compound 6 (C6) carbon and air infused technology, so the material story is as much a part of this fin as the shape.

What the Alpha construction actually delivers

The responsive flex characteristics of C6 combine with the neutral Legacy Series template to give a lively, connected feel through transitions. Per the vendor spec sheet, this set carries a Balanced ride number of 6.3 and is built for riders at 165 pounds and up.

• Template Category: Pivot, for tight turns and a loose feel
• Construction: Alpha, built with NetPlus recycled fishing nets and C6 carbon
• Ride Number: Balanced, 6.3
• Side Fins: Area 15.90, Height 4.69, Base 4.48, Flat foil
• Center Fin: Area 14.77, Height 4.46, Base 4.35, Symmetrical foil

Who this set is for

Because it is sized for riders 165 pounds and up and sits in the Pivot template, the P8 Alpha suits bigger or more powerful surfers who want tight, loose turning without giving up drive, exactly the kind of setup that gets used across South Florida's everyday beach break sessions.

Fit and care

The set installs directly into a Futures fin box, no glassing needed. Rinse in fresh water after every saltwater session, let the fins air dry away from direct sun, and keep an eye on the foil edges for nicks since the flat and symmetrical foils on this template are precision shaped to the vendor's numbers.

Future Fins background

Future Fins was founded in 1996 by the Longo brothers, who came out of an aerospace background building technical parts and hydrogen fuel cells before applying that same engineering discipline to surf fins, which is reflected in the Compound 6 material work behind the Alpha line.
