Surf Futures R8 Blackstix 3.0 Blue Large Thruster Fin Set

Massive projection, instant speed, and powerful rail turns for heavier surfers with the Rake R8 template in Blackstix 3.0 construction.

Maintain powerful momentum in everyday waves and dominate wider turns with the Futures R8 Blackstix 3.0 Blue Large fin set. Specifically designed for strong or heavier surfers (Size L: over 75-80 kg), this set stands out by offering the largest rake angle and surface area template in the entire Blackstix range, providing exceptional drive and grip.

The Blackstix 3.0 construction is Futures' premium technology of choice for injecting vitality into boards in small to medium, weak waves. By fusing an ultra-stiff asymmetrical carbon fiber base with a flexible honeycomb core, these fins store the mechanical energy of your turns and return it with instant elastic rebound at the tip. Thanks to their revolutionary V2 Foil (three-dimensional concave inner profile on the side fins), the R8 acts as a hydrodynamic wing that optimizes water flow to actively generate speed with each pump. With a Ride Number of 8.7 (Speed Generating), it is the ultimate ally to prevent heavier surfers from getting bogged down in the flat sections of the wave.

Technical Specifications and Dimensions (Size L | Over 75-80 kg):

• Side Fins: 4.47" base, 4.64" height, and a wide area of 15.90" with a concave V2 Foil for immediate acceleration and outstanding hydrodynamic lift.

• Center Fin: 4.47" base, 4.64" height, and 15.90" area with a symmetrical profile (Symmetrical Foil) for impeccable trajectory control and optimal tail stability.

• Blackstix Carbon Technology: Unidirectional carbon base that stiffens the lower structure of the fin to channel force, combined with an elastic translucent blue honeycomb tip that flexes dynamically.

• Rake R8 Template: Streamlined and swept-back silhouette that maximizes rail traction during prolonged carves, providing superb control in open-face waves.

• Ride Number Speed Generating (8.7): Reactive flexibility specifically designed for heavy surfers to generate inertia and speed where traditional fins feel sluggish or stiff.

Compatibility: This set includes 3 fins (Thruster / tri-fin system) exclusively compatible with single tab (Futures) fin boxes.
