lol Hey guys, you know if I start a blog post with lol it’s going to be absolutely ridiculous. Today I am going to talk about one of the smallest parts in surfing that is becoming more and more important as we move further and further down the 5-Fin road. You may not know these exist, but they do and they’re IMPORTANT for any one that owns a 5-Fin board with Futures Boxes. Future Fins Box Fillers are a relatively new product. (Please understand that I say all this because it needs to be said and because a blog post about two 4 1/2 pieces of plastic has the PERFECT amount of comic relief I’m looking for) They didn’t even exist before the entrance of the 5-Fin, though they should have. (For people turning a thruster into a twin.) Basically, a box filler is a piece of plastic that you wedge into your empty Futures Boxes when you’re not using them. (i.e. running a 5-Fin as a Thruster or Quad) This creates a completely flat surface on the bottom of your board. It makes sense and it’s about time. Those empty boxes actually cause a good bit of drag. I mean if you’re buying a $120.00 5-Fin set from Futures you should probably splurge and get the $4.00 Box Fillers to fill the boxes you’re not using. Simple, but GREAT! Which begs the question… Shouldn’t FCS make plug fillers? How can you not enjoy my blog?? With that I bid you good day.
