Futures R8 Blackstix Thruster Fin Set

Springy speed generation and drawn-out drive for large surfers in open-face waves. Engineered with Futures' springiest flex pattern, the R8 Blackstix Thruster Fin Set turns smaller or weaker wave energy into explosive down-the-line acceleration.

Constructed using a specialized Blackstix carbon and fiberglass matrix with lightweight epoxy resin, these fins feature Futures' proprietary V2 Inside Foil. The V2 foil optimizes water flow over the fin face to maintain lift and fluid speed throughout long carves. Combined with an extended rake outline and a lively 8.9 Ride Number, the R8 gives large power surfers incredible springback, drive, and high-line projection on open walls and point breaks.
