Futures Fins

Board test day with the Beagle, Lennix Smith

So what’s the R&D summary from Lenno? Board test number 1, a Xero Fusion squash, has plenty of glide due to extra foam and a flatter rocker, while number 2, a Monsta round tail, has more drive as you’d expect from a shortboard with a performance curve. It’s still easy to surf in small beachbreaks like our test day, yet has the versatility to work in waves with push and solid sections making it the favourite for a few upcoming contests.

Then in weaker conditions, Lenno’s made the huge call that if he only had one board he could ride for the rest of his life, board number 3 his Xero Fusion swallow is the choice… So far.

Cutting Through | EP.3 - Zack Flores

In Ep.3 of Cutting Through, Luke orders a custom board from San Diego surfer/shaper Zack Flores to be paired with Zack's signature fiberglass twins. Luke also brings Zack a prototype of his signature single fin, and they both go to test the fins in some fun waves near Zack's house. They get into a conversation about fin placement in longboards, twins and how he became the surfer/shaper he is today.

Futures - Single fin lineup

Futures single fin range, elevated to the styling of today’s trim masters. Hard to compare the feeling of levitation, during a good noseride. Mix in a switch combo and you're matching the rhythm of where we’re at.

Going back to a classic aesthetic. New color-ways, a solid base, and new branding for our updated single fin line. #since96

Futures - Twin Fin Fun

Superb session on the new Twin Fin range. Nothing beats the glide of a twin fin, whether it be in cruise control on a pair of keels or slicing and dicing on a twin +1. Fun days lead to fun nights. Light the fire early.
