The FCS II AM PG thruster fin set is the iconic signature model developed by the legendary shaper Al Merrick of Channel Islands Surfboards. Classified within the Shaper family, this iconic template is characterised by very wide side fins with an elongated base to generate maximum speed and drive right from the take-off. Its technical feature lies in a smaller centre fin, which reduces drag and allows the tail to be released instantly during the most radical manoeuvres and snaps at the crest of the wave. Its high-end Performance Glass construction, made from layers of solid fibreglass, offers the stiffest flex in the range. This firm and stable structure ensures pinpoint control at high speed in powerful waves, point breaks and consistent beach breaks. Ideal for surfers with a powerful style who love to carve big bottom turns whilst maintaining exceptional pivot on the lip, this characterful set is available from your specialist surf shop, Waïmea Surf Shop, in Anglet.
The Al Merrick-designed template is built for radical, progressive surfing. The raked side fins generate exceptional speed and drive, whilst the smaller centre fin on medium and large sizes offers quick release through turns.
