FCS II Channel Islands PC Quad Rear Fins Solution - White/Blue

The quad rears for Channel Islands' Solution, in Performance Core.

Britt Merrick based them on his CI Upright template and shaped them to work with the upright CI side fins, so pairing them with the Solution tri set turns the board into a fast, loose quad. The neutral rake balances pivot and control, so you can swing it around tight in the pocket, and the 80/20 foil keeps the tail steady and predictable when the section gets critical. PC's progressive flex holds your drive through the turn and still lets go clean.

They come alive in punchy, hollow beachies, where speed and a quick reaction matter: Tallows and Straddie, and Peniche on the trip. FCS designed them around CI's performance boards, and the Solution most of all. Suits five-fin boards like the Solution by Channel Islands, and the Gremlin and White Tiger by Pyzel.

The Solution has five plugs for a reason.
