Overview
LIGHTER CONSTRUCTION. SMOOTHER FEEL.
The new PC Carbon Essential Series utilises a superior blend of carbon tissue and our ultralight AirCore construction to deliver a more user-friendly flex to achieve faster start up acceleration, and a smoother feel through turns.

- Upright template allows for tighter, more acute directional changes.
- Smaller centre fin for increased pivot and tail release.
- Ideal for surfers who like to perform fast, progressive turns.
Ideal Conditions
- Suitable for hollow waves, particularly good for beach breaks.
Board Types
- Designed to fit the FCS II Fin System.
- Recommended for performance shortboards with moderate-to-low rocker.
Fin Family
- Reactor: Find Speed. Speed, tight turns & snaps.
Performance Core Carbon
Often referred to as PC Carbon or PCC, these fins are highly responsive and feature strategically placed carbon that’s designed to complement the fin template. PCC fins suit fast surfing and are favored by power surfers who like to perform explosive turns on critical parts of the wave.
The new PCC Essential Series fins have been constructed using AirCore technology, which is a pressed polyurethane foam core that mimics the geometric foil of the fin. With AirCore we can make a much lighter fin with total manipulation of the flex.
The internal carbon framework is designed specifically to suit each template, and by switching to epoxy resin and adding a carbon twill to the base we’ve delivered a more user-friendly flex pattern. Stiffness in the lower half of the fin enhances drive and acceleration from take-off, and a softer flex through the top half of the fin results in a smoother and more predictable feel when turning.

FCS II Album Twin + 1 Fin Set - White/Gold
Overview
Designed by Matt Parker for his diverse range of twin fin models, the Album Twin +1 is super drivey and stable. The wide base, together with a robust tip that features a subtle point positioned at the top of the trailing edge, provides a burst of forward acceleration straight from the take-off.
The Album Twin has a neutral sweep but sits quite deep in the water, which offers a very stable feel when driving down the line and performing turns. This also adds an element of control and confidence for the surfer wanting to push this set in steeper sections.
The stabiliser fin mimics the outline of the side fin template and can be added to further enhance the predictability of this set.
"Super drivey with heaps of hold, certainly more stability than other templates in this category, and the tip profile has great forward acceleration." - Matt Parker
Features:- Drivey Twin Template
- Stable and predictable feel
- Use with or without a trailer
- Twin fin + stabiliser
Performance Glass
Performance Glass (PG) fins are machine-cut from layers of solid fibreglass. 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.
