The Futures Vector 3/2 Blackstix+ is the next evolution in Futures Fins' high-performance fin technology.
- Vector Foil: This proprietary Futures foil with a concave surface on the inside of the front fins, increases surface area, water attachment, and lift.
- Cant and Toe: The 3/2, 3 degrees of cant and 2 degrees of toe complements the Vector, introducing a twist to the foil for improved planing angles in sharp turns, creating lift and hold deeper into the manoeuver.
- Scimitar Tip: The flattened edge at the fin's trailing end, tightens the turn arc by reducing the template's length. This complements the 3/2 foil's lift and speed design, enhancing the feeling of release from turns while maximising the foil properties throughout the fin's template.
Performance benefits of the Vector 3/2: The Vector 3/2 is a Speed Generating fin, maximising water attachment over multiple planing surfaces, resulting in lift and reduced drag. The concave surface and twist in the upper half provide a unique grip and projection sensation, delivering fluid speed generation in smaller waves and powerful connection and increased speed in larger surf, resulting in faster and improved turns. Helps connect turns while generating and maintaining speed with a more predictable engaged feel.

The Blackstix+ features a stiffer layup, ensuring the Vector 3/2 foils stay fully engaged throughout turns. This increased stiffness and resonance enhances drive, hold, and spring back providing more control and power without sacrificing the fluid rail-to-rail transition.
A precision carbon fibre and fibreglass matrix construction, with specialised epoxy resin delivers a lightweight fin with a highly responsive flex pattern, making it ideal for surfers looking to elevate their performance in a variety of conditions.
