The Futures AM1 Honeycomb Thruster is Al Merrick's medium-sized signature fin set — a rake-template thruster designed for high-performance open-face surfing. Built in honeycomb fiberglass construction, the AM1 delivers the balanced flex and wide-base drive that made Al Merrick's Channel Islands shapes famous worldwide.

• Template: Rake — drawn-out base with swept leading edge for drive and hold through extended turns
• Construction: Honeycomb fiberglass — balanced flex from base to tip for responsive, predictable feel
• Ride Number: Balanced – 5.8 — an even blend of speed, drive, and release
• Best Wave Types: Open face and point break — shines in lined-up, down-the-line conditions
• Size: Medium — recommended for surfers 125–175 lbs
• Fin System: Futures — compatible with all Futures fin boxes
• Set includes: Left, right, and smaller center fin

Sizing Note: The AM1 Medium suits surfers 125–175 lbs on performance shortboards in medium to overhead surf. Lighter surfers should consider the AM3 Small; heavier surfers the AM2 Large.

Care: Rinse in fresh water after each use. Store away from direct sunlight to preserve flex characteristics.
