Consider this: a board that is the fastest board in its category, yet the most stable. A board that delivers more power and early planing than conventional freeride boards, yet remains comfortable. A board that is wide enough to carry bigger sails and deeper fins, yet feels small, light and responsive under foot. A board that is stable and accessible, yet carves smooth, tight jibes that defies its width. This is the Futura.
Wind range - replace two conventional freeride boards with one Futura: with it's extra wide and extra thin design, enjoy the ability to use larger sails and deeper fins for the power and early planing ability normally found in larger boards. Thanks to its reduced thickness, enjoy the responsive feel of a small board with tight carving performance associated with smaller boards. Two in one.
Pure Speed - the Futuras are fast. In fact, they were chosen by several magazines worldwide as the fastest board in their category, blurring the line between freeride and slalom. That's how fast they are. Thanks to their iSonic rockerlines and a low-nose design, the Futuras fly over the water with impeccable control. But here's the best bit: not only are they fast, but the sweet spot of the Futura is also bigger than that of conventional freeride boards. Ride a bit underpowered or overpowered, flat water or hard, choppy water, the Futura still delivers.
Control and handling - slimmer shapes equals a lower centre of gravity. This gives you control. With its lowered nose rocker, the board is immune to gusts of wind that would normally blow you out of control. And for advanced riders, the outboard strap settings combined with wider tail widths also give you more leverage over the fin, for even more control at the limits.
Comfort and accessibility - in previous years, if you wanted freeride speed and performance, you needed a board that was hard and technical. If you wanted comfort and ease, you also had a board that was slower and boring to ride. This is one of the key behind the success of the new Futuras: it gives you performance, comfort and stability all in one. Its extra width inherently gives you more stability; the board won't roll, it's easy to uphaul and it's easy to get going. With strap inserts now placed further inside, they become even more accessible.
Power - for advanced riders, the Futura delivers all the power you can wish for - power to go upwind, power to plane up early, power to translate into maximum top speed. With its Tuttle fin box system, enjoy the ability to tune your board to even higher levels of performance with the best fins on the market today - they're only available in Tuttle box.
Jibes - those who ride the Futuras are impressed by one thing in common: they jibe far better than expected from their extra width. Making boards thinner and thus lowering the centre of gravity simply improves a shape's ability to respond to foot pressure. Carrying no more volume than you really need, the Futuras simply offer you a more efficient design for your weight.
