Some of most popular FCS Il templates from the world's best surfers and shapers have now been constructed in Performance Glass material. This collection is designed for advanced surfers who have a committed, powerful approach to every turn in bigger waves.
Solid fibreglass fins have for decades been the go-to construction for many of the worlds best surfers. Performance Glass (PG) fins are CNC machined. Cut from sheets of layered fibreglass and resin to produce a fin with highly accurate foils which are then fine tuned by hand.
PG fins have very fast memory recall which translates into speed. These fins generally sit at the higher end of the stiffness scale, providing immediate response and acceleration as the surfer powers up and drives through a turn.
These fins are stiff and are widely used by pro-level surfers because the integrity of the flex is maintained under immense force, and in the most extreme of conditions and situations.
