FCS II Album Twin + 1 PG Fins
Matt Parker's twin template for Album, with a stabiliser.
Parker built it for his whole range of twin fin models, and it's all about drive. The wide base and a robust tip, with a subtle point at the top of the trailing edge, give you a burst of acceleration straight off the take-off. The sweep is neutral, but the fins sit deep in the water, so it stays stable running down the line and gives you the confidence to push it through the steeper sections.
That's a twin you can lean on, on the points that run: Greenmount, Currumbin and Noosa, or Manly on a punchy day. The stabiliser copies the side fin's outline, so run it as a straight twin, or drop the trailer in when you want it more predictable.
Suits boards like the Tiger Twin and Happy Twin by Pyzel, the RNF 96 and Pisces by …Lost, and the Turbo Channel Twin + 1 and Mid Length Swallow Twin + 1 by MR.
Loose when you want it, locked in when you need it.
Key features
- Drivey twin template: wide base and robust tip for acceleration from the take-off.
- Deep, neutral-sweep side fins: stable and predictable down the line and in steeper sections.
- Matching stabiliser: the same outline as the sides, so you can run it twin or twin + 1.
- Performance Glass: machine-cut from solid fibreglass layers; stiff, with its flex holding up under real force.
Specs
- Fin system: FCS II
- Set: twin + stabiliser (3 fins); flat-foil sides, 50/50 stabiliser
- Construction: Performance Glass (PG)
- S-M (under 75kg), White/Gold: sides base 5.01" / 127.1mm, depth 5.44" / 133.3mm, area 19.30 sq in, sweep 32.8°; stabiliser base 3.07" / 78mm, depth 3.31" / 83.9mm, area 8.67 sq in, sweep 29.3°
- M-L (70–90kg), Black/Gold: sides base 5.18" / 131.4mm, depth 5.44" / 138.1mm, area 20.62 sq in, sweep 32.8°; stabiliser base 3.29" / 83.5mm, depth 3.51" / 89.1mm, area 8.93 sq in, sweep 29.3°
If you're comparing
- Power Twin + Stabiliser: the highest-area twin in the FCS range, with a fuller tip and long base for even more drive and speed.
- MR Twin + 1: Mark Richards' template. Pivots hard off the top, with the centre fin adding control.
- AM Twin + Stabiliser: Al Merrick's original Channel Islands twin, upright and built for quick, easy turns.
