Ailerons FUTURES FINS FAM1 Blackstix

BLACKSTIX 3.0
Over the past 10 years the Blackstix have become a staple in the Futures line, proving to be the best option when a lively, speed generating fin is preferred.

While keeping the Ride Number of the Blackstix series in the 10 to 7 range, we've made some improvements to bring you all the new Blackstix 3.0!

We kept the V2 foil for speed generation, but changed the way the fin flexes by modifying the carbon fiber placement and orientation. The fin now has an asymetrical layup from outside to inside and an addition of 23° unidirectional carbon fiber throughout the epoxy fin.

This substantially stiffens up the base for increased drive, but precisely controls snap in the the tip. You will find that these can load up and release even more energy, and be surfed with more power than their predecessors !

The AM1 Blackstix fin was designed by Al Merrick. The Blackstix material and V2 foil give this fin a springy flex pattern, making it ideal for generating speed and drive in softer waves. The AM1 template offers a wider base for drive off of the bottom and a refined tip for release off the top, while the additional rake provides hold through carves.
