Futures fins knocked out :(

Managed to get a couple of days at the beach and took the new Torq 7ft6 soft top fun board for its first play

Worked great for my 13yo but when I tried it managed to glide in to the beach and hit a sand bank - which ripped the fins out

Managed to find one fin (the rubbery kind) stuck in the sand but lost the rest. So - is it meant to do that to protect the board or have I done some damage? (cant see any) And can I buy some more of the rubbery fins as the local surf shop didnt have anything

What happened to your leash cord ?

Try searching for " Futures Fins Safety F2 " or " Futures Fins Safety F8 ".

Just a note but don’t ride your board into the sand

I recently made some fins and start my fins business. $53 for a set of future fins with carbon structure including shipping. check out the website https://www.giantpandasurf.com/

1) How are you getting around the design patents ? The original FCS ones are over 10 years old, so that i understand. But the new FCSII are not and still under international patent.
2) How are you able to use a registered brand name like FCS and Futures in you advertising without their consent ? Some fin companies go so far as to name their fin types "two-tab" and "single tab". Yours actually name the fins for FCS and Futures.

The OP posted about fins being "knocked out" not about being "knocked OFF". The heading above the T-Rex says " always be original" Really ? Then why does almost all your fins look like an exact copy of a FCS or Futures fin already made ? If you truly are original, come up with your own designs.
