Futures Fins Jordy Techflex Thruster Fin Set Black-Red L

Jordy Smith's Go-To Fin Set for Powerful Waves

The Futures Jordy Techflex Thruster Fin Set was developed in collaboration with championship tour surfer Jordy Smith for the days when the surf is pumping and a rider needs more control underfoot. It sits in Futures' Rake template category, a fin shape built around drawn-out lines and drive rather than quick, tight turning, which is exactly what Jordy reaches for when the waves get powerful.

Techflex Construction and Rake Template Design

This set uses Techflex construction paired with a flat foil, a combination built to give a stable, planted feel underfoot. The Honeycomb build keeps the fin responsive without sacrificing that stability, and the setup runs a smaller center fin relative to the side fins, a proportion that adds a bit of extra maneuverability to what is otherwise a control-oriented, drivey fin.

Who This Fin Set Is For

This is a fin set for surfers who already have some time on their board and want a more locked-in, controlled feel once conditions turn on, rather than a loose, playful setup for small mush. Futures rates this Large fin for riders around 165 pounds and up, so it is worth matching your weight to the Large classification before adding it to your quiver. It suits open face and point break waves best, the kind of longer, more powerful walls where extra hold and drive pay off.

Setting Up and Caring for Your Futures Fins

Futures fins install into a Futures fin box system and lock in with the included screws, so check that your board uses a Futures-compatible box before ordering. Once installed, hand tighten the screws until snug, avoid overtightening, and back the screws out fully before storing your board for long stretches so the fin box threads do not seize. Rinse the fins with fresh water after each session along with the rest of your board to keep salt and sand from building up around the fin box.

Built With a Championship Tour Surfer

Jordy Smith is a championship tour surfer, and this Techflex fin is described as his go-to setup for exactly this kind of powerful, open face surf. Futures builds this fin around his preference for extra control without giving up the speed and drive a Rake template is known for.
