Really been getting into futures to be honest. The FCS website is basically useless, every fin is written up as being perfect, no drawbacks whatsoever. I find a decent surf shop that has a good range is the best place to get advice. If they have a small range they will only seel you what they have in stock...bad ones anyway.
Always liked those little blue and white epoxy fins (m5 equivalents) great in anything under 4 foot, always went to 7's after that to stop my tail sliding out.

Future fin boxes crack too easily, then leak under the glass. Need improvement in the moulding. The Vector II series, though, are extremely good fins, nothing like them in FCS.

My mate reckons future are way stronger in his kite boards. Heaaaaaaavy though.
I love H2s. They're not too strong, however...

Yup, use PG7 in big waves with YU's in sides. YU's give some tip flex compared to most FCS at that size I reckon, use G3000X sometimes for down the line type waves ... whatever feels best. Tried many combo's to find what is best for a particular board. Some "pig" boards have turned out to be awesome with simple fin changes ... Some ex WCT surfers have agreed with me about how many boards with "glass-in" fins have been wasted by not being interchagable!
