FCS II Gerry Lopez Fins

While these fins excel in hollow, punchy, and steep conditions, they are versatile enough for everyday beach breaks if you prefer a board setup that prioritizes speed and control. However, they are specifically engineered to handle the power of heavy waves, so you might find them overkill for small, mushy surf.

These fins are optimized for performance hybrid models and step-up boards, particularly those with deep concaves. The upright template and progressive flex pattern complement boards designed for tight turns and high-speed maneuvers in critical sections.

The Performance Core construction uses a multi-layered resin transfer molding process, which creates a more progressive flex pattern from base to tip. This allows the fin to load up and release energy more efficiently than traditional stiff fiberglass, giving you a balance of stability and responsiveness.

Yes, these fins are designed for riders up to 175 pounds. If you exceed this weight range, you may find the fins feel too flexible or lack the necessary drive and hold in powerful surf.

Yes, this is a Tri-Quad set, meaning it includes five fins total. This gives you the flexibility to ride your board as a thruster for more pivot and control, or as a quad for increased speed and drive down the line.
