The Puddle Jumper Pro has five fin boxes (FCS II or Futures), so you can ride it as a thruster or a quad.

Futures’ own picks for the Puddle Jumper Pro are the F6 Blackstix (a neutral, all-around template) for small or soft waves and the Mayhem 3.0 5-Fin (Medium, Large) (a rake template) all-around. Futures sizes its fins as Small 95–135 lbs, Medium 125–175 lbs and Large 165 lbs and up.
