FCS II Mid Carver PG Tri Fins - Burnt Orange

The Mid Carver thruster set in Burnt Orange, made for mid-lengths, in Performance Glass.

FCS combined two templates it trusts. The Carver XL sides bring the drive and grip, and a Performer Large centre adds balance, so the board loads up off the bottom and still lets go cleanly coming out of the turn. With more total area than a shortboard set, it keeps a longer board steady as you move your feet and stretch out your carves. Solid PG keeps the whole set stiff and responsive, suited to bigger or heavier surfers.

Give it open faces on point and reef breaks: Snapper when it's on, or Impossibles in Indo. On soft, small days it can feel catchy if you're not pushing it. It wants a mid-length with deep concaves and moderate-to-extreme rocker, according to FCS. Suits boards like the Score Lord by Pyzel, and the Crowd Killer and Round by …Lost.

Long board, long lines.
