Over the past 10 years the Blackstix have become a staple in the Futures line, proving to be the best option when a lively, speed generating fin is preferred. While keeping the Ride Number of the Blackstix series in the 10 to 7 range, we've made some improvements to bring you all the new Blackstix 3.0! We kept the V2 foil for speed generation, but changed the way the fin flexes by modifying the carbon fiber placement and orientation. The fin now has an asymetrical layup from outside to inside and an addition of 23° unidirectional carbon fiber throughout the epoxy fin. This substantially stiffens up the base for increased drive, but precisely controls snap in the the tip. You will find that these can load up and release even more energy, and be surfed with more power than their predecessors! Available now on the Surfculture Webstore.
