FUTURES VECTOR 3/2 BLACKSTIX THRUSTER 3 FIN SET LARGE

The Futures Vector 3/2 Blackstix+ Thruster Fin Set (Large) represents the next generation of Futures’ high-performance fin technology — built for powerful surfers demanding both speed and precision. Evolving beyond the original Vector 3/2 Alpha, the Blackstix+ construction introduces a stiffer layup that keeps the foils fully engaged through aggressive turns. The result is enhanced drive, hold, and spring-back energy — delivering more control and projection without losing that signature fluid Blackstix feel.

What is Vector Foil: A Vector Foil is a proprietary Futures design featuring a concave inner surface on the front fins. This increases water attachment, lift, and drive, providing exceptional speed and hold through the entire turn.

What is a 3/2:  The 3/2 design adds 3° of cant and 2° of toe to the Vector foil, introducing a subtle twist that enhances planing angles and control. The result is more lift and hold deeper into maneuvers — helping surfers carve tighter, faster, and more connected turns.

The Scimitar Tip: The Scimitar Tip, originally developed in 2006, features a shortened, flattened trailing edge that tightens the turning radius while maintaining release and control. This design complements the 3/2 foil’s lift characteristics, offering a perfect balance of drive, pivot, and release.
