The FCS II CI Upright Tri Fin Set – Medium is a high-performance thruster fin designed in collaboration with Channel Islands Surfboards. Perfect for surfers seeking instant speed, tight turns, and maximum responsiveness, this upright fin template excels in punchy, hollow waves and delivers quick drive right from takeoff.
This fin is especially well-suited for performance shortboards, hybrids, and step-down models with flatter rockers—boards where fast pivot and vertical surfing are key.
