The FCS II system is a click-in system of fin attachment. Not a new idea (Speedfins invented & developed the idea) but refined and re-launched by FCS to much acclaim. Now in their new longboard fin systems and adapted fin boxes. Many benefits:

1. Keyless – Efficient keyless system for quick fin installation and release. The FCS II system requires no grub screws or keys to secure the fins to the board. Fins can be easily inserted and removed in seconds, allowing you to adapt your equipment to the conditions, on land and in the water.

2. Flush Leading Edge – Recessed leading edge with flush base connection improves water flow. These features not only create a sturdy anchorage to the board, but minimize water disruption through a more flush and seamless transition between the fin and board surface.

3. Backward Compatible – The FCS II System is backwards compatible with all your favourite FCS dual tab Fins. The FCS II Compatibility Kit contains specially designed silicone infills to eliminate the gap created by the dual tab fins in the new system. The Compatibility Kits are available to purchase separately through FCS Retailers or from the Seabase store.

4. The Mechanism – Constructed using a corrosion resistant titanium tension rod, and a rotating, wear-resistant polymer barrel. When the fin is inserted into the plug the barrel interacts with a groove detail in the fin to lock it into place using a combination of downward and lateral force. The FCS II Fin System has been tested to over 4,000 cycles (installing & then removing the fin). Under normal conditions, the FCS II system will outlast the life of the board.

5. Honeycomb Construction – Lightweight Composite Frame encapsulated by high density foam reduces weight and maintains flex
