Picking the right size surfboard is different for everyone, and very much depends on the shape. Volume is a great measurement to help you find the right size – start with our Volume Calculator here.

Volume is the measurement of cubic liters your surfboard displaces when put into the water.

Think of volume like buoyancy or paddle power – and you cannot surf until you catch and stand up on a wave. On the flip side, the more volume your board has, the higher in the water it will sit which will make maneuverability more difficult.

Use our Volume Calculator here.

Great question that requires a longer response than we can give here – head over to our Technology pages to learn more.

This is a phenomenal question, as fins can make or break a surfboard. Many of our surfboard models have fins designed specifically for them, check product description details for more. Or, feel free to Contact Us to ask for our recommendations.

Single Tab refers to the fin system Futures uses, while Dual Tab refers to the fin system FCS uses. Please make sure to double check which fin system your surfboard uses before ordering your fins!

Try the Greedy Beaver, Sunday, or our Midlengths and Longboards.
