Futures Fins JJ-2 Alpha Thruster Fin Set Carbon-Green M
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Championship Template, Sustainable Construction
The Futures JJ-2 Alpha Thruster Fin Set is built on the exact same Neutral template that John John Florence rode to back-to-back World Surf League Championships. Futures has paired that proven foil geometry with their Alpha construction, a process that fuses Bureo's NetPlus recycled fishing net material with Futures' Compound 6 (C6) carbon fiber and air infused technology. The result is a fin that competes at the highest level while keeping ocean plastics out of the water cycle. Every set is hand-finished in Huntington Beach, California.
Neutral Template: Built for Every Surfer, Every Wave
The Neutral template sits in the all-around, versatile category of Futures' fin library. It generates balanced drive and pivot rather than weighting one end of the performance spectrum, which makes it the go-to choice when conditions vary throughout a session or when you want a fin that translates across a wide range of board shapes. A Balanced Ride Number of 5.9 confirms that positioning: enough hold and drive for critical turns, enough release to keep the tail loose when you need it. Suggested for all wave types and all conditions, the JJ-2 Alpha works in gutless beachbreak, down-the-line point surf, and overhead beach days equally well.
Alpha Construction: NetPlus + C6 Carbon + Air Infusion
Alpha is Futures' performance-sustainability build. The process starts with Bureo's NetPlus material, which is made from reclaimed fishing nets collected through coastal community programs before they reach landfills or ocean floors. NetPlus provides a rigid, consistent fiber base. Futures then layers in their Compound 6 (C6) carbon technology, a six-axis carbon weave that distributes load evenly across the fin panel for stiffness without brittleness. Air infusion removes excess resin during the layup, cutting weight and sharpening the fin's response to input. The combination delivers a quick, precise feel that rewards assertive surfing.
Made in Huntington Beach
Futures has manufactured fins in Huntington Beach since the Longo brothers founded the company in 1996, bringing aerospace fabrication expertise to fin construction. That manufacturing heritage is visible in the Alpha build: tight tolerances, consistent foil geometry from fin to fin within a set, and the kind of quality control that a hand-finished domestic production process allows. The JJ-2 Alpha is a direct product of that lineage, a tour-level fin built the same way for anyone who surfs Futures boxes.
Futures Fin System Compatibility
The JJ-2 Alpha Thruster Fin Set is designed for Futures fin boxes and includes three fins (two side fins and one center fin) for a standard thruster setup. The integrated base tab and single-screw locking system seat securely without tools beyond the included key and provide repeatable positioning session after session.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Neutral template in Futures fins?
- The Neutral template is Futures' all-around, versatile fin category. It balances drive and pivot without weighting either end of the performance spectrum, making it adaptable across a wide range of wave types, board shapes, and surfing styles.
- What is Alpha construction and how does it use recycled materials?
- Alpha construction combines Bureo's NetPlus material, made from reclaimed fishing nets, with Futures' Compound 6 (C6) six-axis carbon fiber and an air infusion process that removes excess resin. The result is a lightweight, stiff, responsive fin built with a lower environmental footprint than conventional carbon construction.
- What does the Ride Number 5.9 Balanced mean for the JJ-2 Alpha?
- Futures' Ride Number places fins on a 1-to-10 scale from loose/pivot-focused (low) to stiff/drive-focused (high). A Balanced 5.9 sits near the center, offering a mix of hold and release that works across many surfing styles rather than committing hard in either direction.
- Is the Futures JJ-2 Alpha Thruster the same fin John John Florence used to win his World Championships?
- The JJ-2 Alpha uses the same Neutral template geometry that JJF rode to back-to-back World Championships, per Futures' own product description. The Alpha construction is the retail build of that template.
- What fin boxes do Futures fins fit?
- Futures fins are designed exclusively for Futures fin boxes. They are not compatible with FCS or other box systems without an adapter. Confirm your board uses Futures boxes before purchasing.
- How many fins are included in the JJ-2 Alpha Thruster Fin Set?
- The set includes three fins configured for a thruster setup: two matched side fins and one center fin.
- Where are Futures fins made?
- Futures fins, including the JJ-2 Alpha, are made in Huntington Beach, California, USA, where the company has manufactured fins since its founding in 1996.
