FIREWIRE SPUN HONEY | FUTURES PIVOT FIN SET

Firewire Spun Honey Fins: Dan Mann's pivot for agile surfing full of drive

Designed by Dan Mann specifically for his Spun Honey board, this fin set takes the pivot template concept to a new level: low profile, long base, and rake tip, intended for surfers seeking powerful drive without sacrificing looseness or pivotability.

WHY THIS FIN SET MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The Spun Honey template lives firmly in the pivot world, but with a twist of its own: by having less depth than usual, it concentrates all its surface area right where power is generated. The long base provides constant drive in the bottom turn, while the rake tip—less bulbous and sharper than a classic pivot—delivers release and turning capability when the wave demands it. The result is a fun and forgiving fin, just as at home on a weak day as in a session with more size.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• Low-profile pivot template — long base and reduced depth that places the fin's surface area in the wave's zone of maximum power.
• Rake tip — sharp, non-bulbous, performance-oriented profile that promotes release and pivot in the turn.
• 80/20 foil — clean profile, without bumps or thickened areas, with a progressive taper that allows water to flow without turbulence.
• Traditional fiberglass construction — classic layup that offers a familiar flex and a feel close to glassed-on fins.
• Single Tab system, Futures compatible — quick and secure installation in Futures fin boxes.
• 5-fin set — allows you to set up your board as a thruster or quad depending on the day's conditions.
• Size Medium — designed for a wide range of weights and board volumes.

EXPERT ADVICE

If your Spun Honey (or any board with 5 Futures fin boxes) tends to feel loose in the bottom turn, mount the thruster configuration with this set: the long base will give you the drive you need without losing agility in the turn. For days with less power, try the quad configuration: you will notice more entry speed and a looser exit off the lip.

FIREWIRE WARRANTY — THE FUTURE UNDER YOUR FEET

Firewire's origin dates back to 1981, when Australian shaper Nev Hyman began experimenting with new constructions at his NEV Surfboards brand in Western Australia. That research led to the birth of Firewire Surfboards in 2006, with the mission of improving the surfing experience through high-performance products manufactured with the lowest possible environmental impact.

Firewire has been a pioneer in sustainable construction within surfing, with boards certified by the EcoBoard program, and has a reference team of shapers and riders such as Rob Machado, Dan Mann, and Daniel "Tomo" Thomson. Under the motto The Future Under Your Feet, every product from the brand—from the board to the fin—is designed seeking the balance between performance and environmental responsibility.

USE AND CARE

• Insert each fin into its Futures box, checking that it is fully seated before tightening the screw.
• Tighten with the Futures key firmly but without forcing, to avoid damaging the box threading.
• Check the fit before each session, especially after the first few uses.
• Rinse the fins with fresh water after each session to remove salt and sand.
• Let them dry in the shade; heat and prolonged direct sun exposure can deform the foil.
• Store the set flat or in a fin case to avoid damage during transport.
• Avoid contact with rocks or hard bottoms, which can chip the leading edge.
