STEP 2: FIN SET UP

THRUSTER

FCS Thruster Set Up

Thrusters are the most versatile set up, they feel predictable, provide maximum control and are suited to all types of conditions.

QUAD

FCS Quad Fin Set Up

STEP 3: FIN FAMILIES

STEP 4: FIN MATERIALS

Select a fin material to match your surfing.

FCS Fin Material Guide

Fins with more flex create a whipping action that helps lighter, more agile surfers generate and hold speed through turns.

Stiffer fins allow heavier & stronger surfers to push hard through turns without overpowering the fins.



STEP 5: SLIDE & GRIP

Within each fin family, you can fine tune your selection using the Slide and Grip scale.

FCS Fin Slide To Grip Ratio


Fins with more slide release easier, while fins with more grip offer more control.
