FCS II Mick Fanning Fins

These fins are designed for power surfers who want to push hard through turns. Because they are built for speed and aggressive maneuvers, they might feel too stiff or 'locked in' for someone still learning the basics of board control.

Performance Core (PC) construction is designed to mimic the feel of traditional fiberglass fins but with a significant reduction in weight. It provides a consistent, responsive flex pattern that helps you maintain speed through turns without feeling overly rigid.

No, these are FCS II fins, which are designed for the tool-less FCS II system. While they are backward compatible with original FCS dual-plug boxes if you use grub screws, they are optimized for the click-in, click-out convenience of the newer system.

The Large size is generally recommended for surfers weighing between 75kg and 90kg (165lbs - 200lbs). If you are a lighter surfer, these fins may provide too much hold and make the board feel difficult to turn, whereas heavier surfers will appreciate the extra surface area for drive and stability.

The thruster setup is the most versatile configuration in surfing, offering a reliable balance of speed, control, and maneuverability. While these specific fins excel in powerful, open-faced waves where you can really lean into your turns, they remain a dependable choice for everyday conditions.
