The Futuras have taken the World by storm. By offering a combination of performance previously considered impossible, the Futuras have shaken up the conservative freeride design philosophy and picked up winning test results and numerous test awards along the way.

Consider this: a board that is the fastest board in its category, yet the most stable. A board that delivers more power and early planing than conventional freeride boards, yet remains comfortable. A board that is wide enough to carry bigger sails and deeper fins, yet feels small, light and responsive under foot. A board that is stable and accessible, yet carves smooth, tight jibes that defies its width. This is the Futura.

Its secret? Extra slim shapes, extra width, combined with iSonic genetics.

Wind range - replace two conventional freeride boards with one Futura: with it's extra wide and extra thin design, enjoy the ability to use larger sails and deeper fins for the power and early planing ability normally found in larger boards. Thanks to its reduced thickness, enjoy the responsive feel of a small board with tight carving performance associated with smaller boards. Two in one.
Pure Speed - the Futuras are fast. In fact, they were chosen by several magazines worldwide as the fastest board in their category, blurring the line between freeride and slalom. That's how fast they are. Thanks to their iSonic rockerlines and a low-nose design, the Futuras fly over the water with impeccable control. But here's the best bit: not only are they fast, but the sweet spot of the Futura is also bigger than that of conventional freeride boards. Ride a bit underpowered or overpowered, flat water or hard, choppy water, the Futura still delivers.
Control and handling - slimmer shapes equals a lower centre of gravity. This gives you control. With its lowered nose rocker, the board is immune to gusts of wind that would normally blow you out of control. And for advanced riders, the outboard strap settings combined with wider tail widths also give you more leverage over the fin, for even more control at the limits.
Comfort and accessibility - in previous years, if you wanted freeride speed and performance, you needed a board that was hard and technical. If you wanted comfort and ease, you also had a board that was slower and boring to ride. This is one of the key behind the success of the new Futuras: it gives you performance, comfort and stability all in one. Its extra width inherently gives you more stability; the board won't roll, it's easy to uphaul and it's easy to get going. With strap inserts now placed further inside, they become even more accessible.
Power - for advanced riders, the Futura delivers all the power you can wish for - power to go upwind, power to plane up early, power to translate into maximum top speed. With its Tuttle fin box system, enjoy the ability to tune your board to even higher levels of performance with the best fins on the market today - they're only available in Tuttle box.
Jibes - those who ride the Futuras are impressed by one thing in common: they jibe far better than expected from their extra width. Making boards thinner and thus lowering the centre of gravity simply improves a shape's ability to respond to foot pressure. Carrying no more volume than you really need, the Futuras simply offer you a more efficient design for your weight.

• Deeper deck concave in the front
• A centre of gravity that is shifted back, giving a more neutral balance and a board that feels more connected to you.
• More deck dome in the tail
• More comfort and more grip for your feet, whether riding with the straps in the full outboard setting or the more inboard setting.
• Tail cutaways: improves speed and acceleration by reducing skin friction without affecting the planing surface's lift, therefore increasing overall efficiency.
• Side-cuts: improves fin drive and promotes the release of water that sticks to the leeward rail. When accelerating on to the plane, out of a jibe or in a gust, the improved release gives a sharper and quicker acceleration
• Multiple insert positions offer tuning options for intermediate, advanced and expert riders.
• Performance or pleasure, power or comfort, more maneuverable or more accessible, tune your Futura how you like it.
• An extra wide outline is one of the keys behind the Futura's mix of performance, wind range, comfort and stability.
• The upgraded 2009 outline now also benefits from more iSonic R&D findings: by increasing the width of the planing surface but without increasing the maximum width or the tail width, the planing surface becomes more efficient.
• This new outline also increases the amount of curvature between your feet, improving maneuverability and jibing performance.

New shapes:

New outlines - the Futura 93, 101, 111, 122, 133 and 144 have new outlines that are wider in the area between your front foot and your back foot. The tail widths however have not been increased. This does two things in one: it improves the efficiency of the planing surface for more speed and quicker acceleration, and improves jibing performance.

Improved ergonomics - all Futuras have increased dome in the tail section, for improved comfort. Whether you ride the boards with the straps in full outboard settings or with the inner settings, more deck dome equals more comfort and more control. On the Futura 122, 133, 144 and 155, the footstrap inserts were also moved further inboard, making the Futuras even more accessible for progressing riders.

Improved jibing - the new outline with increased tail outline curvature improves jibing. Furthermore, the footstraps are also placed further inboard: this makes it easier for the rider to initiate the carve and helps prevent the water from hitting the straps as it carves around.

New deck concave and a centre of gravity that is shifted back - more deck dome in the tail increases the thickness, but the front half of the boards were shallowed-out with a deep deck concave - the overall volume remains the same, the centre of gravity remains low and it is also shifted back. A centre of gravity that is shifted back brings it closer to the rider, which means more control and a quicker response to foot pressure.

iSonic rockerlines give the Futuras their speed, early planing, acceleration and control qualities.

These iSonic rocker lines have a low angle of attack that reduces aerodynamic lift and drag off the nose.

Less drag and less nose lift improves the board's control in gusts and improves the top end speed.

A low angle of attack also improves the board's planing efficiency, by allowing the board to skim over chop instead of bouncing over it.

Extra slim shapes: the breakthrough behind the Futura's ability to offer a combination of performance previously considered impossible.

Extra slim shapes lowers the centre of gravity to provide more control, more wind range and peak performance over a wider sweet spot.

Summary:

• Extra-slim shapes and iSonic genetics: offers a combination of performance previously considered impossible
• New outlines with a more efficient planing surface
• New deck domes for improved comfort in both outboard and inboard strap settings
• Available in cool BLUE or fast RED.
