Surf Futures FAM2 RTM Hex Black White Thruster Set Fins
Don't forget to:
Speed, projection, and maximum control for heavy surfers with Al Merrick's legendary AM2 template
Boost your board's performance with the Futures FAM2 RTM Hex Black White fin set. Designed by legendary Channel Islands shaper Al Merrick, the AM2s are the ultimate choice for heavy surfers (size L: over 80 kg) looking for solid drive, wide, stable turns, and absolute control on powerful wave faces.
Thanks to their Rake type template (with a pronounced sweep angle, refined tip, and very wide base), these fins offer excellent drive on the bottom turn and exceptional grip at high speeds. Made with Futures' Honeycomb technology (a honeycomb core wrapped in fiberglass), they provide balanced and elastic flex with a Ride Number of 4.6. This makes them a very versatile "all-around" option that provides stability in solid conditions and liveliness in softer waves. Additionally, the center fin is slightly smaller than the side fins, facilitating tighter pivot turns and controlled skids (tail release) when the lip calls for it.

Side Fins: 4.73" base, 4.79" height, and 15.98" area with a flat inner profile (Flat Foil) that provides excellent instant speed response.
