FCS II Machado Quad
Best performance upgrade for surfers riding hybrid or fish style boards.
This quad fin set bridges the gap between the loose, flowing feel of a twin fish and the reliable control of a performance quad. It is specifically tuned for smaller, weaker surf, providing the necessary drive to maintain speed through flatter sections.
