Future Fins Elevon Quad Review

by

Hey Guys! I forgot that I have tried the Future Fins Elevon Quad Fins a few times, so again I figured I’d share. Please keep in mind you can try ALL the fins that Future Fins, FCS and Kinetik Racing Co. makes by becoming a Finatic! Anyway, so a few weeks back (if you follow me) you’ll know I went surfing in Puerto Rico. While I was there I was able to surf in Rincon! It wasn’t epic by any means, maybe only waist to chest (and that’s probably being a bit nice about it) but, considering the wave size I figured I would give the Future Fins Elevon Quad (Small) a shot! If you haven’t seen these fins yet, click one of the links within this post, they are some SICK, OUT THERE Fins! Again, I put these fins on my Rat Rocket (check the review on the Future Fins Controller Quad to get my board dims.) and they were EPIC, all things considered. On the relatively small mushy waves that Rincon offered up that day, I was in earlier (before the wave broke) and had enough speed to actually pull a few maneuvers. I was EASILY battling with SUP’ers for waves and was occasionally winning, ON MY 6’1″! I haven’t tried the Future Fins Elevon Quad Fins on bigger waves yet, but you know I will… And I’ll post it here when I do! Again, am border line a large surfer at 6’2″ 170lbs. But, the Elevon Quad Fins ROCKED it on this board, FOR ME, on THIS particular day.

These Fin “Reviews” are intended to be used as a comparison tool, so that YOU can get how particular fins worked for ME on MY boards in certain conditions. Remember, countless factors effect a fins performance, the best thing to do is become a Finatic and test fins on YOUR board at YOUR break for YOURSELF. None the less I hope my fin reviews HELP you make more informed, smarter, fin decisions.

FCS and The Surfboard Warehouse 101

Sorry to blog so late on a Friday! (I meant to have this up in the AM, however once again I got tied up! This time it was helping with the Finatic Fin Testing Program.) So, it’s time to let the pendulum swing the other way and talk about our INCREDIBLE relationship with FCS! FCS has been around longer than Futures, thus when we came onto the scene in 2005, FCS had to feel us out for a bit and make sure we were a good fit for each other. I think they saw me as a crazy man that may just be able to pull off such an insane online surf shop! lol Once they gave us the green light in early 2006, BOY did I prove them right! ha ha (Yes, I realize I’m admitting to being a crazy man.) The Surfboard Warehouse‘s sales have grown consistently year after year with FCS! This brings us to where we are today, one of FCS‘s LARGEST online accounts in the US! This is NO small accomplishment with the amount of competition there is on the Net now a days. So how did we do it? Well, when you pair FCS, an established global leader in both surfboard fins and surf gear, and The Surfboard Warehouse with our exclusive Finatic Fin Testing Program which has helped to fuel our FCS Fin sales, there was no doubt in my mind that it was just a matter of time before we would begin to aid FCS in setting the bar.

Finatic Fin Testing Program!

by

Hey guys! Before I continue with our discussion, “Future Fins or FCS Fins“, I figure I should point out that we have a one of a kind fin testing program called Finatic, which allows you to test UNLIMITED Fins from FCS, Futures and Kinetik Racing Fins! Basically, it’s a Fin Testing Program modeled after NetFlix and wouldn’t you know we’re the ONLY company with anything like it! (Innovation, NOT imitation! And that begs the question, if imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, what does that make innovation? I think I feel a thought of the day coming on.) How we came about starting Finatic is a different discussion altogether and I will undoubtedly touch on that one day, but for now all you need to know is that it’s ABSOLUTELY SICK on every level. Currently, I have made the executive decision to give new members their first month for $0.99 cents! (Against the wishes of our accounting dept., I should point out) After your initial month the program currently runs for only $9.99/mo. and that INCLUDES all of the shipping costs! The way I see it is that EVERY surfer should be a part of Finatic, different Fins ABSOLUTELY change your surfing and we’ll prove it! So, what are you waiting for, sign up for Finatic today!
