- No need for a plate and screw.
- Ability to adjust your fin position in the box mid surf.
- Easily insert or remove your fin in seconds. No fin key required.

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.

The H4 looks and surfs different to any other fin. Precision Swiss engineering matched with a highly evolved template provides an unprecedented level of control and predictability at high speeds.
Almost intuitive in the way the H4 performs, when you initiate a turn, the fins will work for you by sullying speed when you need it, and then releasing at the ideal transition point.
While the science behind the template, the materials and the foils are highly complex, every component of this fin has been engineered to create a simple synergy between the fin and the surfboard, the rider and the wave.
UNIQUE TEMPLATE
Radically different side & centre fin templates create a powerful fin set with ultimate speed & drive.
SIDE FIN PROFILE: Lower section produces maximum acceleration, while hatchet like tip creates stability & control.
CENTRE FIN PROFILE: Highly raked elliptical outline reduces drag, and offers feeling of predictability when releasing through turns.
FIN FOILS TEMPLATE: Thicker base with tapered tip optimises flex & regulates the release of energy during rail to rial transitions.
Ideal Conditions
A wide range of conditions, particularly good in critical overhead waves.
Board Types
Designed to fit the FCS II Fin System.
Recommended for performance shortboards with moderate-to-low rocker.
