G10 fiberglass is an industrial-grade, high-pressure laminate known for its extreme strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike standard molded fins, this CNC-machined material provides the rigidity and durability required to hold your line under the immense pressure of heavy, high-consequence waves.

Yes, these fins are designed specifically for the FCS II system. They feature a tool-less installation process, allowing you to click them in and out of your board without needing screws or a key.

The hybrid template is designed to give you the best of both worlds: the quick, responsive turning of a side fin combined with the reliable stability of a center fin. This balance helps you maintain control and drive when you are navigating steep, fast-moving faces.

While these fins are engineered for high-consequence, big-wave surfing, they are versatile enough for solid, powerful conditions. If you are surfing smaller, softer waves, you might find them a bit too stiff, as they are built to prioritize hold and speed over loose, playful maneuverability.

The foil profile is refined to reduce water resistance as you move across the face of the wave. By minimizing drag, the fin allows you to maintain momentum and speed through turns, which is critical when you need to outrun a closing section or navigate a steep drop.
