So bad strength wise. The epoxy doesn’t bind very well with the foam at all and is ver weak in construction. Went through a couple of these boards very easily. Never experienced anything so weak glass wise on my 30 years of surfing.

Purchased a Future Flex stock 5'7 off the rack. Yep made in Thailand etc. So was expecting pretty average workmanship and quality. So far I have been very surprised and impressed to be honest. I live in Bali and have used the Untitled in everything from 3-6 foot heavy sand bottom beachies to slabby 6 foot + reef. Originally purchased to be a small wave groveller but has more than held its own in bigger heavier conditions while barely having a pressure mark in it. The epoxy mixed with the medium rails gives it a full feeling when paddling but then plenty of performance when surfing on rail. It's now my all-round daily. Very impressed.

The board is the perfect all rounder for me at my age. The right blend of performance and usability. The round tail works great when turning and the five fin set up gives plenty of options. I started it as a thrutser on my trip to Maldives, however when I surfed Jails I could not get the speed to keep up. I changed it to quad for second session and the thing flew, allowing me to pull in and make the sections.

Fastest board I have ever ridden, such a great feeling getting to every section with ample time to set up your move. The nose tends to dip and catch a fair bit but. Would love to ride this board with a bit more of a pulled in tail maybe even a rounded pin to give it a touch more grip on those punchier days.

I love this board, thrashed it, and keep coming back to it. Mine is fluro yellow and pink and you can't not have fun with it. I always have it stashed in the car for a quick session. It's fat and short, so super easy to paddle and surprisingly quick down the line, and manoeuvrable into the lip. The kids love it. It makes rubbish waves sort of fun. And it makes good waves a challenge. It has held up fairly well considering the belting I have given it over summer. The stock fins are fine.

This board was awesome to ride, easy to catch waves on and once u stand up it’s so easy to do manoeuvres and such a fun board. Nice and light and easy to catch barrels because it’s easy to dig the rail.

This board is absolutely wicked. Insanely good maneuverability. The board holds in overhead and hollow waves as well as being able to perform in small sloppy 1-2 ft conditions, nice drive and speed down the face. This board is a great all-rounder and am super stoked on it.

This board is perfect for my sunshine coast swells from around 3ft -7ft because of its wonderful manoeuvrability and drive to get past white water. The paddle power is great and will get you onto any wave which helps with wave count. The board is cheap for its standards which is a great bargain you can get nowhere else. Overall the board is perfect for any surfer wanting to get out and have a fun time with a board that can get you plenty of waves and fun turns.
