Welcome Back Quad!
In case you haven't noticed Quad Fin setups are in and Future Fins is on point! Not long ago the surf world thought three was better than four, thus the Thruster revolution began. Fast forward to circa 2005 and the thought is/was that three is not better than four, they're just different. Thus depending on surf style, surfers will bicker over which is better when in all reality we all want a Quad in our quiver now. So, if you have a Quad Future Fins is there for you, designing a Quad line that was coming down the pipes long before Quads were cool. (again) So here we are and Future Fins has us saying, "Welcome back Quad!" Update: Future Fins has now turned the Stamps Quad into a 5-Fin as well!
Future Fins Stamps Quad 5-Fin
The Future Fins Stamps Quad Set is made from lightweight Foam Hex Core Glass, giving them the look and feel of a glassed on fin. The Tim "Stamps" template is a balanced template designed for medium sized surfers. The medium tip and medium base on the Future Fins Stamps Quad allows you to stay on rail and makes it easy to generate your own speed. Future Fins has engineered the Stamps Quad with a medium flex pattern that's great for all conditions.

"Get The Job Done"
- Craig S., Indialantic, FL on the Futures Fins Stamps Quad Hex
Overall Fin Rating: 4
Height: 6'2"
Weight: > 200 lbs.
Surfing Experience: (1 - 10): 7
Home Break: Indialantic, FL

Misc. Board Information: Wide nose rocket tail -- 20 1/4, 2 1/2
Other Thoughts: Good drive and hold compared to old Future Vector 2. A bit too restrictive on smaller waves, but held good on chest high plus (mush or beach break). Overall opinion is they just get the job done. In the end, I prefer the Vector 2 for more liveliness, in spite of the better drive and hold of the Stamps. The Stamps I preferred in head high conditions.
