I think so. They are mostly foiled very thin in the tips so they while they are rigid at the base they do have some tip flex. My only real complaint is sometimes they come very sharp and I have to spend a little time rounding the edges with sand paper.
I think the newer models like the Mann Kine's trailing edge is less sharp than the older ones.
Futures posted this on their Instagram, which I thought was a good comparison of some of their fins:
They said they are actually going to add a feature to their website similar to that. Fingers crossed for that.
have a set of freestones and JJ large, quite similar shape with the JJ having more area overall. probably started with the same base template, used to see jack riding the JJ fin before he had a signature model.

It's a step in the right direction, but why doesn't Futures provide a degree of rake in the first place?
Seems like that would be a very helpful unit of comparison.
I think they used to as well but did away with it.
Sure it simplifies things by saying "pivot, neutral, or raked" but there's nuance in there that's important.
It definitely turns me away as a consumer.
