It is a proprietary Futures foil with a concave surface on the inside of the front fins, increasing surface area, water attachment, and lift.
3/2 complements the Vector with an extra 3 degrees of cant and 2 degrees of toe, introducing a twist to the foil for improved planing angles in sharp turns, creating lift and hold deeper into the maneuver.
The Vector 3/2 is a Speed Generating fin, maximizing water attachment over multiple planing surfaces, resulting in lift and reduced drag. The concave surface and twist in the upper half provide a unique grip and projection sensation, delivering fluid speed generation in smaller waves and powerful connection and increased speed in larger surf, resulting in faster and improved turns. Helps connect turns while generating and maintaining speed with a more predictable engaged feel.
Originally developed in 2006, The Scimitar Tip is flattened edge at the fin's trailing end, tightens the turn arc by reducing the template's length. This complements the 3/2 foil's lift and speed design, enhancing the feeling of release from turns while maximizing the foil properties throughout the fin's template.
Matched these up on Jeff Carver’s recommendation with a custom Vernor Chef round tail. These fins provided an excellent combination of paddle power, speed down the line, and responsive turns. The feel under foot is like a hybrid thruster/quad. Keeps me just close enough to the pocket to sink tight for barrels and turns. But also pumps easily on the wave face to generate some impressive speed. Paddle power felt enhance for a thruster is this board size and design. Highly recommend.
I got these fins the other day and had my first session with them in my 6'3 Round tail. Man let me tell you i was blown away by the performance. MY surfboard shaper David Vernor said these are a must try in my board so i took his advice! Speed generation was next level. It felt like a 2+1 or quad setup with speed and the response of a true thruster. My first session was in good surf. 3/5ft clean and decently hard offshore, with some solid barrels. The 3/2's will now be a staple in my quiver.
