Unlike traditional Blackstix, the Blackstix+ features a stiffer layup, ensuring the Vector 3\/2 foils stay fully engaged throughout turns. This increased stiffness and resonance enhances drive, hold, and spring back providing more control and power without sacrificing the fluid rail-to-rail transition. The result is a fin that delivers a precise yet responsive, lively feel, making it ideal for surfers looking to elevate their performance in a variety of conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWHAT IS A VECTOR FOIL\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is a proprietary Futures foil with a concave surface on the inside of the front fins, increasing surface area, water attachment, and lift.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT IS A 3\/2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e3\/2 complements the Vector with an extra 3 degrees of cant and 2 degrees of toe, introducing a twist to the foil for improved planning angles in sharp turns, creating lift and hold deeper into the maneuver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePERFORMANCE BENEFITS OF THE VECTOR 3\/2\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Vector 3\/2 is a Speed Generating fin, maximizing water attachment over multiple planing surfaces, resulting in lift and reduced drag. The concave surface and twist in the upper half provide a unique grip and projection sensation, delivering fluid speed generation in smaller waves and powerful connection and increased speed in larger surf, resulting in faster and improved turns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eHelps connect turns while generating and maintaining speed with a more predictable engaged feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBENEFITS OF THE SCIMITAR TIP\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally developed in 2006, The Scimitar Tip is flattened edge at the fin's trailing end, tightens the turn arc by reducing the template's length.
