Julian Wilson's Signature FCS II Fin
If you have been searching for the FCS 2 JW fin, this is Julian Wilson's own signature tri-fin set, built for surfers chasing speed and projection on open face, down-the-line waves. It is designed to fit the FCS II Fin System and drops straight into any board already set up for it.
Construction and Materials
- Updated in PC construction, featuring FCS's ultralight AirCore
- Part of the Carver fin family, engineered to Find Power
The AirCore layup keeps the fin light in the water without giving up the stiffness needed to hold a line, which is the balance Julian Wilson asked for when this template was developed.
Where and How It Performs
This set is at its best in open face conditions and is particularly good in point and reef breaks, where a surfer is stringing together longer, arcing turns rather than short, snappy ones. FCS recommends it for performance shortboards with moderate to extreme rocker, so it suits boards already built for a progressive, high performance approach rather than a beginner or all-around shape.
Who This Fin Set Is For
This is a fin set for an intermediate to advanced surfer who already has a shortboard dialed in and wants more drive out of turns, not a first fin upgrade for someone still learning to read a wave. In South Florida's beach and reef style breaks along the coast, that translates to a surfer looking to carry speed through longer turns rather than pumping down short, closeout sections.
Fit, Care, and Handling
- Confirm your board uses the FCS II Fin System before ordering, since the fin base is specific to that system
- Rinse fins in fresh water after every surf and let the tabs dry before reinserting to avoid a stuck or gritty fit
- Inspect the fin box and tabs periodically for sand or salt buildup that can wear the locking mechanism over time
The FCS and Island Water Sports Standard
FCS fins are designed in collaboration with the world's leading surf athletes and surfboard shapers, and are the preferred choice of the world's best surfers and shapers, which is exactly the kind of pro-tested gear Julian Wilson's signature line represents. Island Water Sports has outfitted South Florida surfers with fin systems and hardware since 1978, so when you order this set you are getting the same FCS II hardware our own team fits boards with in store, backed by a shop that actually surfs what it sells.
