Future fins

[nystea]

So i have the futures jordy fin set.. wich fits 100÷ perfect in my pyzel b@st@rd fin boxes.. today i bought the JJF fin set and it seems they are abit wobbly(moving side 2 side abit)in the finboxes.. i cant imagne John john has this problem in his pyzel board..does anyone else have this problem with any future fins? I put some metalpaper down in the finboxes and it seems to do the job.. anyway im thinking to get some extra glassing on theme so they fit perfect... it just make me to scared to loose theme..

I don't have that issue with futures.....I do with single fins sometimes. I use duct tape if it is really loose or masking tape if only a little loose. Can layer twice with masking tape. I push the fin in and trim the top edge with a sharp knife. No wobbles.

Larry Bertleman who was an innovative and great surfer from my days used to sand down his fins to make them wobble

Why someone wanna make his fins wobble ?
Its only the 2 side fins that have this problem the middle one fits also perfect...
And ye its the first time out of 6 sets that i have this issue... but i read in the internet that its happens to many ppl.. specially with techflex variants...

In the time of Larry Bertleman diddnt they use all glassed fins?

What problem does wobbly fins create? When I was surfing my 9'6" longboard I felt like I had a break through. Suddenly I was ripping some nice turns. It was like the longboard was starting to work like a shortboard which was really what I wanted to do. Before I went out the next time I noticed the screw that holds the fin in place was gone and the fin was flopping all over. I kept surfing with it like that for a while but it started making some loud popping noises so I got a new screw for it.

It doesnt creat a real problem but i always lock my fins very strong and this ones i cant so it make me abit scared that i ll loose theme somehow.

There should be a Futures Fins representative that visits the local surf shop. Let him/her know politely you have many Futures Fins and ONLY this one wobbles in the box. Since it is a Quality Control issue, he/she might be able to get an exchange made if you haven't reefed/scuffed them up. They want you happy and satisfied. If you didn't support you local shop, then you might have to call Futures Fins directly and pay for shipping both ways.

Maybe that's why they were on the buy and sell? I bet the guy you bought them from had the same issue. I thought it was weird he was selling new fins.
