Future Fins F4 Quad Fins
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.

(again) So here we are and Future Fins has us saying, "Welcome back Quad!"
