FCS II Al Merrick Fin

These fins are designed for performance shortboards that feature deep concaves and moderate-to-extreme rocker. They are specifically tuned to complement boards that need extra help generating speed in hollow, punchy waves.

The smaller center fin is designed to reduce drag and allow for a quicker, looser release when you're pivoting through turns. It makes the board feel more responsive and snappy, especially when you are performing high-performance maneuvers.

The AirCore technology uses a pressed polyurethane foam core to significantly reduce the overall weight of the fin. This lighter construction helps the fin react faster to your movements, giving you a more lively feel underfoot without sacrificing the stiffness needed for drive.

These are FCS II system fins, which are designed for tool-less installation in FCS II boxes. If you have older original FCS dual-plug boxes, you will need to use grub screws to secure them, though they are fully compatible.

They excel in hollow, punchy beach breaks where you need immediate speed and responsiveness to navigate steep sections. While they can work in various conditions, their design is optimized for waves that require quick, radical surfing.
