Both awesome boards . There is a review of both in the current Windsurf mag. I have the Fox 120 and have had a Futura but not that one. I think the Fox is longer and narrower maybe 245 by 70 and the Futura 228 by 77. Despite the differences they share similarities but I think the Fox is going to have an advantage in rougher water while the Futura probably the edge in acceleration. Which is faster? I think that's going to depend more on the pilot. I would be stoked to sail either.

I sailed the piss out of a Fox 105 in Cape Hatteras (it was a rental) with a 6.6 and (unfortunately) weed fin (good one though). Board was phenomenal in the chop! The foot pads were cushy too. Was able to put the hammer down without fear. I have an older Futura 111. Decent board but nowhere close to the new Fox in hairy conditions. I'm sure the new Futuras are more comparable.

There are no links to the article because it is still available for sale on their website at windsurf.co.uk in the March issue. They make all the older reviews stretching back over a decade available which can be very useful.

Had a carve and it's very comfy very easy to sail, the fox is quicker and more exciting but still very easy to sail.
