Did futures discontinue their rtm tech 1 material?
Edit: it seems you can find tech 1 and 2 on the CI site but not on the futures site.

If you like CI fins , the new jordy fins have similar drive and are easier to push around
Also the rtm construction is a step in the right direction. Stiffer ( base is thicker ) with the tips having a nice twang.
Kinda a dumb question but what happens if you run a smaller fin for your size will you just slide out on turns? I always have run larges but get free mediums (fcs performers) with new boards but I'm over 210.
At 210 you're firmly in large fin category IMO. Maybe if you are riding a long, gunny type board with a narrow tail you could get away with medums but even then the Performers wouldn't be a great call for the type of waves you'd likely be riding. Maybe you can trade them to a smaller guy or sell them. They could possibly work as quad fronts or you could try the medium center fin with some large sides to see how that feels in smaller waves.
On wide tale grovel boards you can run medium performers in all 4 boxes
It feels ok in mushy bumpy surf
The other thing to do is use the medium size center fin with the standard size side fins for a looser / slightly more pasive feeling ride

I emailed futures about this in May or June and they said mediums would be released in July, but they didn’t say when exactly
Anybody compare the creatures vert larges to the fcs reactor larges? I didn't even know creatures made fins and got a deal on them before they were discontinued. They've been my go to for thruster set up and I was comparing their specs to the fcs data chart and they have exactly the same specs. Are the foils the same? Stocked if they are the same fin, just thought it was strange they have exactly the same dims.
