We are currently working with Futures Fins to design a line up of wake specific surf style fins. Simply put, displacement/thrust driven wake/wave energy is not the same as wind driven wave energy cresting over something....... As you may know or noticed, most skim style board use wakeboard/wakeskate fins directly or something of that nature. None of the standard surf fin companies make wake style fins, although some have in the past. Rainbow made some really nice fiberglass fins, but simply couldn't compete and ceased that line. Future also made small wake style fin for awhile. Some of the larger 'wakesurfer' companies just use generic knock-of fin templates and have them branded with their label.... I use to grind out and mold my own fins for boards back in the day, and then started mostly using FCS when they came out... I use FCS or Futures on my ocean boards, occassionally glass-ons, but our Shred Stixx are Futures Fin exclusive. I would tell you what our Pros think and like, but it is a secret for now... we will be broadcasting it wide and clear soon.
