It's on the futures site:I wonder why the Jordy fin is only being sold at Cleanlines and does not appear on the Futures website or insty?
Finally updated thenIt's on the futures site:

We are beyond happy to announce the release of the brand new Jordy Smith Signature fin. On the heels of the Legacy Series release, Jordy was inspired by the look of the Rake Large template and asked for a set with a smaller center fin. The start of 2019 wfuturesfins.com
Jordy rode am2’s for years. No huge surprise his template is essentially the am2.Dims are very very close to the AM2
They fuckkkin wit uz
It's really not. It's much more similar to the R8's but with a smaller center. I'll try to get a comparison pic posted up here soon. They are noticeably livelier and feel like they turn a little sharper than AM2's which I've ridden and enjoyed for years.Jordy rode am2’s for years.

New camo ones. Never tried the old ones.Aruka are you talking about the new black camo Jordys from the link, or the old one that's been out for a few years?
Gotcha; I was going to say, a shop grom talked me out of a set of Merricks I was looking at one day; he took the old Jordy and the Merrick set I was looking at and they were basically spot-on.New camo ones. Never tried the old ones.
I stand corrected. So, less rake than the am2's then?It's really not. It's much more similar to the R8's but with a smaller center. I'll try to get a comparison pic posted up here soon.

did u intentionally get them wet for the photo shoot?Heres a Jordy side fin over top of am2. Jordy is very similar at the base and along leading edge but it is a little shorter overall and with a finer tip. There is less difference between the rear fins with the jordy just being slightly narrower at the base. Overall they are similar fins but just the slight reduction in area is noticable and is a positive for me. If am2s have always felt like too much fin, these probably will too. If you like am2s but wouldnt mind a slightly livelier ride without giving up that addictive down-the-line drive, these might be worth a look.View attachment 82587
Is it just me or do most of futures's fins all seem to be very similar in shape?Heres a Jordy side fin over top of am2.

Most likely they start with a base template and make alterations from there, same idea from fcs. There is only so much you can change without compromising the feel most are after. It looks like the Jordy fins have more area in the front than the AM2 with a little less rake and a finer tip, hard to tell without seeing it from the other side.Is it just me or do most of futures's fins all seem to be very similar in shape?
