FCS II Al Merrick Quad Rear Fin Set - Medium
The FCS II Al Merrick Quad Rear Fin Set in Medium is designed by legendary shaper Al Merrick to pair perfectly with the raked AM side fins. Built for surfers chasing a fast, controlled quad setup, these rear fins are tuned to deliver a strong balance of maneuverability and directional control in more performance-oriented surf. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
The defining feature here is the 50/50 foil, which promotes smooth, longer-arc turns while maintaining exceptional stability, especially when the board is locked into the barrel. That makes this rear set a great choice for surfers who want the speed and drive of a quad without losing the hold and predictability needed in steeper, more powerful waves. FCS places this set in the Carver family, built for powerful, drawn-out turns with added hold. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Constructed in Performance Core, these fins use a multi-layered resin transfer molding process with a flex pattern that extends progressively from base to tip. FCS says this helps maintain drive and hold through a turn while keeping the set light and versatile across conditions. In Medium, FCS lists the rider range at 145 to 175 pounds. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
