Futures Fins R4 Honeycomb Thruster Fin Set
Surfers looking into the R4 Legacy Honeycomb thruster want a small fin set that holds through turns rather than one built purely for looseness. This set sits in the Rake template category, where the increased rake angle is designed to add hold as you carve, while the Honeycomb construction keeps the overall feel balanced.
Construction and Template
- Template Category: Rake, described as drawn-out with an emphasis on control and drive
- Construction: Honeycomb, for a balanced, all-around feel
- Ride Number: Balanced, rated 5.4
- Size: Small, recommended for riders in the 105 to 155 lb range
The rake shape gives this thruster set more hold through turns compared to a neutral template, which is the tradeoff Futures built this fin around.
Who This Fin Set Is For
This small size fits lighter riders who want a thruster fin that holds a line through turns rather than one that feels loose and skatey. It works well for surfers riding regular South Florida beach break conditions who want a dependable, all-around setup rather than a specialty fin for one wave type.
Fitting and Caring for Your Fins
Make sure all three fins are seated fully in the fin boxes and the screws are tightened evenly, since a rake template depends on a secure, even fit to deliver its drive through turns. Rinse the fins and fin boxes in fresh water after each session to remove salt and sand buildup, and store the set away from direct heat and sun when it is off the board.
About Futures Fins
This R4 Legacy set carries the same Longo brothers heritage as other Futures Legacy fins, a company founded in 1996 by brothers who came from an aerospace and hydrogen fuel cell research background before applying that technical approach to fin design for surfing.
