BIG WAVE SURFER'S MUST HAVE

• Ride number: 0 – Speed control (solid and predictable)

The GL Tow Thruster G10 was developed by surfing icon Gerry Lopez in the early 2000s to suit some of the outer reefs he was towing around the world. Featuring the GL 3.75 Side and a full-size Center fin, this set is about less drag at top speed and can be seen in a lot of Nazaré tow boards these days. Made from epoxy resin and compressed fiberglass, the G10 Series features Futures’ engineered tow foils designed to reduce cavitation through highly efficient water flow, resulting in reduced drag, increased control and maneuverability at extremely high speeds. Cant angle is at 2.0º.

Ride number

A TOOL TO HELP YOU SURF BETTER

Using Ride Number is easy, you just have to understand the feelings of Speed Generating and Speed Control. On one end of the Ride Number scale is Speed Generating fins. These fins feel responsive and provide that extra spring most often wanted when the surf is lacking power. On the opposite side is Speed Control. These fins feel solid, engaged, and predictable providing that extra hold usually only needed when the surf is cranking. The middle ground is Balanced, offering a mix of the two extremes for an all around feel. Just remember, when you're pumping - Speed Generating, when the waves are pumping - Speed Control.
