Description

Take your surfing performance to the next level with the Futures FAM1 RTM Hex Blue-Black surf fins. This set is a technical gem: designed by Al Merrick (Channel Islands), built using advanced RTM-Hex construction, and tuned for a balanced ride in powerful to medium-sized wave conditions.

Key Features

Template: FAM1 / AM1 — medium thruster with a ‘rake’ profile (long, designed for control and drive).
Construction: RTM-Hex (Resin Transfer Moulding + honeycomb core); this process ensures a lightweight yet stiff and responsive fin.
Ride Number: ~5.8, which means a balanced feel: not too playful, not too stiff, just right for all-round performance.
Size: Medium (estimated recommended body weight ~ 55–80 kg)
Flex pattern: the honeycomb core provides a medium flex, distinctly lively, yet with sufficient resilience and control.
Base angle & tip design: wider base (more drive), narrower tip (for better release in turns).
Foil: the side fins have a flat profile, whilst the centre fin is symmetrical, ensuring stability and predictability

Performance and Benefits

More drive through turns
Thanks to the wide base of the side fins, you can generate more power when cornering. The fins help your board ‘grip’, allowing you to manoeuvre smoothly from rail to rail.
Controlled release
The narrower tip and flex design ensure you can release the fins effortlessly when making a sharp top turn. This allows you to maintain speed without getting stuck.
Lightweight + resilient
The RTM-Hex construction makes the fins lighter than traditional fibreglass fins, without compromising on stiffness. This delivers a responsive ride without your board feeling sluggish.
Balanced stability
The ‘rake’ template and symmetrical centre fin provide stability and control, ideal for surfers seeking a fine balance between speed and manoeuvrability.
Universal compatibility
As these are Futures fins, they fit into all Futures single-tab fin boxes; they’re easy to install and reliable.

Who Is This Set Suitable For?

All-round / performance surfers who need a solid, reliable fin for a variety of wave conditions.
Medium-weight surfers (approximately 55–80 kg) who want to benefit from a fin that offers both drive and flexibility.
Surfers who value control but also want enough pop for dynamic manoeuvres.
Boards with a Futures fin box, from shortboards to performance mid-lengths.
