WHAT IS A VECTOR FOIL It is a proprietary Futures foil with a concave surface on the inside of the front fins, increasing surface area, water attachment, and lift.
WHAT IS A 3/2 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.
PERFORMANCE BENEFITS OF THE VECTOR 3/2 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.
BENEFITS OF THE SCIMITAR TIP 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.
I have only ridden these a few times so far, but they are now my new favorite fin. From the first wave ridden they felt very good. I immediately noticed these fins have a lot of drive, responsiveness, and the ability to hold when needed. I would say that the Alpha Vector 3/2 offer the best all around value of any fin on the market. They will give your favorite board another dimension of performance that you didn't even know existed.

These fins are bonkers!
I normally ride AM2 and blackstix when small/mushy. These fins are next level fast and loose, but they also hold-my new favorite for small waves.

Amazing fins
I just got a pair of Scimitar fins and they are a game changer! I can't say enough about the speed and maneuverability they have add to my surfing at my daily surfing spot in Lima, Peru. In small waves, it adds an amazing amount of speed to go vertical and snap and in large waves I don't really need to pump much my board since it flies....it goes through flat sections like nothing!
Thank you to the Futures team for bringing these amazing fins!

Alpha vector 3/2 lg. great fins
My first session on these fins was in thigh to waist high clean offshore peelers here on the east coast USA. Right from my first wave I could feel the lift and quickness The vectors. 3/2 unique foil added. They definitely tap into the waves energy and generate speed. There description of the fin is spot on. I thought maybe they would get a little quirky when the surf got bigger but so far in surf up to head high they’ve been great. These fins are a lot of fun. I would recommend adding them to your quiver of Fins. The Alpha story is pretty cool too.
