Also try and rub the sides of the tangs with a soap bar

Wax works as well.

 

[silentbutdeadly]

my alphas are tight too.

 

[nowayout]

I cant believe how tight these are. The Am's and Ea's fit but I cant get the Alphas in.

Wow those are hot

Just received the JJF large futures. Matched them up with the Freestones, quite similar rake/sweep, tip. Still the JJF with a bit more area overall. There will be no photos, can’t have you pervs drooling over my slightly feminine and soft hands.

Rode the Futures medium DHDs in my X21 today. Thought they would be too small but not at all.

Great fin, will continue to use.

If it means anything, the medium DHDs have more combined area than the AM1s.

 

[Semper Surfer]

DHD mediums dims are disappointing. Hopefully, they will release Jordy mediums that are on the bigger end of the medium spectrum

I'm also curious about the dimensions of the Mayhem fins. Template looks similar the JJF

Just got back from the surf shop. I matched the new Mayhem fin template with the JJF-2 template and they were very close! The Mayhems were slightly smaller but it wasn’t by much. The Mayhems are about the same area of the blackened portion of the JJF-2 fin if that makes sense. Maybe an 1/8 in smaller all around. Also noticed it was very similar to the Freestone template as well.

 

[Semper Surfer]

Yeah, dims not up on the futures site either

I see Futures updated the website and added the dims for the Mayhems.

 

[Havoc]

so a small medium and a larger large on mayhems. old ones were like a bigger medium. surf industry for u lol. introduce more product that misses the mark

I do like the new Mayhems personally but seems like they need a wave with some push. After seeing the dims, it makes sense because they are bigger than past Lost fins.

Bouncing off this post about Cheyne's fins. How about his star fin? I have an old Moss Research Space Cake that I never ride and now thinking about how a star fin would do in it. Has anyone ever tried one? I'm also thinking about turning it into a twinzer / 2+1. Everytime I see a Mabile Honey Badger It makes me think about converting my Space Cake. Any thoughts on both these ideas?

 

[Aardwolf]

There maybe someone lurking who has ridden a mccoy lazor zap. Those things had a yacht shape, not having seen the board you are talking about.
If those wide rear ends of the mccoys had a lot of vee, the 'lift' the starfin generates would probably compliment that sort of thing.
Those vert fins of cheynes look ok in the pocket/tube, seem to lack projection outside of that in the footage i have seen.

Hey retodd

Any suggestions for a 7’4 x22x3 Maurice Cole red dingo , 5 future boxes? I’m 5’11, 205-10 , ride mostly softish points in malibu

Liked am2 honeycomb thruster in head-OH point , just tried ROBERT’s large with true Ames Timmy Patterson 80/20 rears as a quad , felt fine but haven’t had it in anything but tiny waves. Open to any suggestions , thanks !

 

[retodd]

Try some T1 ( twin with trailer)

In smaller surf it will have quick burst of speed and easy to turn from a forward position

As a quad I think the EA set works best with MC rail placement

Thanks , I have an AMT set to try out, never thought of that one for that board

Don’t have an EA set, maybe the Rasta quad will be close enough with the futures 4” flat foil rears?
