For lighter surfers who still want that world-title level control, the Futures JJF Techflex Thruster – Small delivers serious performance in a scaled-down package. This is the same John John Florence signature template that powered three World Championships, refined here for surfers in the 45–60kg range who demand speed, drive and precision without overpowering their board. Sitting in the neutral, all-around category, the Small JJF Techflex Thruster is built to feel balanced underfoot. It won’t feel twitchy in punchy beach breaks, and it won’t feel tracky when you want to release through the lip. The Techflex construction gives you a stiffer base for hold and control, while the responsive tip provides that springy feedback through transitions. With a Speed Control Ride Number of 3.8, this fin leans slightly more toward control, making it ideal for high-performance shortboards where stability at speed is key. If you’re a lighter surfer riding performance shortboards in head-high and under conditions, this setup helps you stay connected through rail turns, maintain projection out of the bottom turn, and surf confidently when the waves start to get pushy. It’s predictable when you need it and lively when you push it. Pair it with a performance leash and traction pad to complete your high-performance setup.
