Alpha - Now with NetPlus
The first fins made from recycled fishing nets. Made in California, the Alpha product line is now made by incorporating Bureo’s NetPlus recycled fishing nets with Futures’ compound 6 Carbon and Air infused technology. NetPlus material is sourced from Bureo’s fishing net recycling program in Chile, which provides collection points to keep plastic fishing nets out of our oceans. Preventing harmful materials from entering the ocean, their program protects wildlife and supports local fishing communities through financial incentives. Our Alpha product line is molded carbon fiber made in Huntington Beach, California that delivers every bit of performance you’d expect from an upgrade fin at a Balanced Ride Number. Incredibly lightweight & resilient, Alpha is the first of its kind; created using one-of-a-kind materials and new technologies developed by Futures: 

• Compound 6 - We have developed a brand new material blend that is lighter than Honeycomb and the next step in innovation for Futures. Infused with the resiliency of carbon fiber and the lightness of air, this is the most advanced injection fin material ever created. Working with the talented team at 3M, we were able to combine two key features that make our exclusive material so impressive.
• Carbon Infused - Lightweight % resilient. First, we infused carbon fiber which has a higher strength to weight ratio than fiberglass. By replacing fiberglass with carbon fiber, the Alpha line is more lightweight & resilient than your standard fiberglass or plastic injection fins.
• Air Infused - Lightweight & strong. Second, we infused air. Yes, air! With our friends at 3M, we were able to develop a one-of-a-kind composite material that creates air pockets in the fin to reduce weight without sacrificing structural integrity.

Ride Number - Futures’ Skala von 1-10 für die Klassifizierung von Finnen Eigenschaften, in der sowohl Bauart und Form der Finnen berücksichtigt werden. Hohe Ride Numbers stehen für lebhafte Finnen Eigenschaften und einfaches Generieren von Geschwindigkeit; optimal für dynamisches Surfen in schwachen Wellen. Niedrige Ride Numbers signalisieren eine steifere Finne für maximale Kontrolle in kraftvollem Surf. Optimal für ein Allround Finnen Set wäre je nach individueller Präferenz eine Ride Number zwischen 4 und 7.
