Review: Future Fins Jordy Smith Fins

August 17, 2013 By Admin

One of the hottest new fin systems to hit the market is Future’s Jordy Smith fins. These professional-quality fins offer superb performance in all types of surfing conditions. Regardless of your surfing style, chances are you’ll love the sheer power, speed and versatility offered by Jordy Smith fins. For a closer look at these fins, keep reading.

There are a couple different variations of Future’s Jordy Smith fins, one of which is the full-sized honeycomb model seen here. It features a wide base with a narrow tip that’s designed with a focus on speed, making it an excellent choice for power surfers. As the name suggests, this fin is built with a honeycomb structure and hexagonal core. The honeycomb material is both lightweight and durable, which are two key elements in a quality fin system.

The Jordy Smith Honeycomb fin runs parallel with Jordy Smith’s own surfing style. If you’ve ever seen this ASP-star surfer in action, you are probably well aware of his ability to forcefully drive at the bottom of turns. When it looks like Smith is finished surfing, he kicks up with a final burst of speed. This fin was designed to maximize speed and force around turns in a similar manner to Smith’s surfing style.

The Jordy Smith Medium Fin Set is a slightly smaller version of the previously mentioned model. However, don’t let that fool you into thinking it doesn’t perform as well. On the contrary, this scaled down version is engineered for maximize performance for smaller surfers. It features an additional rake and thinner tip which allows for more speed and maneuverability around turns.

The Jordy Smith Medium Fin Set is actually the first model released in the series; therefore, it’s become a popular model among surfers of all experience levels. Much like the honeycomb model, this smaller fin set also features a wider base and thinner tip. Most experienced surfers will agree that this creates a powerful combination of speed and performance.

Both the honeycomb and medium fin set are two powerful and equally versatile fins that are perfect for all surfing conditions. These fins are made to mimic the style of pro surfers Jordy Smith, so you can rest assured knowing they are the real deal.

“I used to lay up the fins in the shop. I’ve worked on thousands of boards, and have had a lot of experience with fin placement, tow angles, cants and templates,” Jordy said during a recent interview with Futures. “When I signed with Futures, they came on board and said we’re going to make you your own fin, and I was super excited.”
