The MR Twin+1 set combines the best performance features of a twin fin and a thruster. Pure twin fins are fast, loose, highly manoeuvrable, and responsive, and the addition of a small stabilizer fin adds an extra degree of drive and control. These MR twin fins from this set are also big enough to be ridden in a pure twin fin configuration but will work in virtually any size or shape board in an optimum surf size range of 1 to 6 feet.
"Being pure foiled fibreglass, the construction of my new Futures Fin set mirrors the traditional flex characteristics of a hand-foiled fin cut from a multi-layered fibreglass fin panel. The 2+1 configuration gives the board a twin-fin performance feel with additional speed and manoeuvrability. The small rear stabiliser fin adds a degree of positive control and predictability. The outline temp for the MR Twin Fin set plus the rear stabiliser is over 20 years old. I developed it around the 2000s in response to a request from Soeda Surfboards Japan to make some twin fins for the team riders. My pure twin templates have a wide base and are very upright with not a lot of rake. So, I decided to design a new twin fin and small stabilizer template. Feedback from the Soeda team riders was positive, they loved the boards. The moment I got the feedback I got excited and shaped myself a modern twin fin with the 2+1 set-up. 24 years later I'm still surfing with these fins and totally frothing on them!!!" - Mark.
