June 20th, 2018 - Wasabi Surf LLC from Carlsbad, CA has created an FCS™ fin to Futures™ fin system compatibility adapter, the WildCard, which allows surfers to use their favorite twin-tab FCS™ type fins on surfboards that have single-tab Futures™ type fin boxes. Gone are the days that surfers choose not to ride, or possibly buy, a surfboard because their particular fin selection is limited.
