A 2+1 Setup Built for Longboards
Riders searching futures fins longboard or futures fins 2 1 are typically outfitting a noserider or longboard that runs a 2+1 fin configuration, one larger center fin paired with two smaller side fins. The Compound 6 set from Futures Fins is built specifically for that layout.
How a 2+1 Setup Rides
In a 2+1 configuration, the center fin does most of the work holding a line and controlling drive down the length of a longboard, while the two side bite fins add extra hold and help the board pivot through turns without the looseness of a pure thruster or twin setup. This makes the Compound 6 a fit for riders who want the classic trim and glide of a longboard along with more control when a turn is needed.
