Mikey February's Signature Keel Fin Set
The Futures Mikey February Fiberglass Keel Fin Set is a signature keel fin built to enhance performance on fish style boards. It keeps the traditional characteristics surfers rely on a keel fin for, hold and down-the-line drive, while adding a looser, more responsive feel when the board is put up on rail.
Fiberglass Construction and Keel Geometry
Futures kept the base length, area, and tip rake of a traditional keel fin to preserve its essence, then reduced the area through the center of the fin to increase responsiveness, the exact change Mikey February wanted from his signature shape. The set is built from solid fiberglass, and the left and right fins are mirrored in an inverted pattern.
Who Rides a Keel Fin Set
Keel fins are built for fish style boards and the riders who love that classic, down-the-line drive with a bit less pivot than a thruster setup. This set performs well across a wide range of traditional fish boards, making it a good match for surfers who already ride fish shapes and want to add more rail response without losing the keel's characteristic hold.
Setting Up and Caring for Fiberglass Fins
Futures fins install into a Futures fin box system and lock in with the included screws. Hand tighten until snug, back the screws out before long storage so the box threads do not seize, and rinse the fins with fresh water after each session to keep salt and sand from building up around the fin box.
Built With Futures and Mikey February
This fin set carries Mikey February's name because Futures built it around his specific vision for a keel fin, one that keeps the hold and drive of a traditional keel while trimming area from the center for a livelier feel on rail.
