The Futures Fins Generation Series Fins are a complete line of fins that
represent the next level in speed generating fins. The Generation Series
was designed to provide all the speed you need while maintaining an

Uni-Directional Carbon for a quick response. Some of Futures Fins top

"Get The Job Done"

Type of Board: Hybrid
Board Size: 6 ft. 2 in.
Fin Setup: Quad
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.
