WHAT IS A VECTOR FOIL?
It is a Futures foil with a concave on the inside of the front fins, which increases the surface area, water contact, and lift.
WHAT IS A 3/2 VECTOR?
The 3/2 Vector is an extension of the Vector foil, featuring an additional 3 degrees of camber and 2 degrees of toe-in on the upper half of the fin. The foil has a noticeable twist that alters the glide angle during turns at sharper angles of attack, providing more lift and stability in the turn.
PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES OF THE VECTOR 3/2
The Vector 3/2 is an enhanced speed-generating fin that creates lift through maximum water contact across multiple gliding surfaces while reducing drag. The combined effects of the concave surface from the base to the tip and the twist in the upper half of the fin provide a uniquely positive feeling of grip and projection. In smaller waves, the sensation of speed build-up is smooth and noticeable. In bigger waves, the water contact and additional lift characteristics ensure a powerful transition between turns and higher speed from one turn to the next, resulting in faster surfing and better turns.
ADVANTAGES OF THE SCIMITAR TIP
The Scimitar Tip is the flattened edge at the tip along the trailing edge of the fin. By reducing the length of the template, we influence the fin’s grip. The 3/2 fin is designed to generate lift and speed, so the surface area at the tip has been reduced to tighten the turn radius. This template features a large surface area at the base, which maximizes the potential of the foil characteristics throughout the body of the fin and culminates in this final refinement of the tip to achieve the desired feeling of release from the turn.
As the final component of the Vector 3/2 set, the center fin template was specifically developed to deliver thrust in turns while reducing drag and shortening the turn radius. The specific adjustment is made at the tip with a refined scimitar shape that is narrower than the side fins and features slightly more rake. The trailing edge curves deeper inward and extends the upper half of the fin for slightly more flex. Although it resembles the side fin aesthetically, the refined center fin offers the perfect level of response to complement the technical elements of the Vector 3/2 foil on the side fins.
