Built for Power Surfing
The FCS 2 Mick Fanning PC Tri Fins are designed around one style of surfing: powerful, committed and precise. If your game is hard snaps off the top and long, carving roundhouse cutbacks, these fins are purpose-built to match that aggression. Developed in direct collaboration with Mick Fanning and refined through input from the world's leading surfers and shapers, every design decision feeds back into generating speed and control through the critical sections of a wave.
Performance Core (PC) Material
PC, or Performance Core, is FCS's mid-tier composite construction that delivers a dynamic flex pattern without the stiffness of full fibreglass or the softness of pure plastic. The result is a fin that loads energy through a turn and releases it as a burst of speed, giving power surfers the lively, responsive feel they need to drive through open-face carves and down-the-line sections. The material provides a very controlled feel even when the surfing gets aggressive, so you stay locked in rather than washing out.
Template and Foil Design
The Mick Fanning template pairs a playful sweep angle with a flat foil to strike a balance between turning radius and straight-line drive. The sweep keeps the fin from feeling locked or rigid in tighter arcs, while the flat foil generates consistent hold across a range of turn shapes. The longer base is the defining feature for power surfing: more base means more drive off the bottom and more authority through full-rail turns. This is not a loose, pivot-oriented design. It is built to carve.
Ideal Conditions and Board Pairings
These tri fins perform at their best on open-face and down-the-line waves, particularly at point breaks and reef breaks where the wave wall gives you room to generate speed and lay into big turns. They are matched to performance and concaved board shapes across moderate-to-extreme rocker profiles. Boards with significant concave accelerate water through the fins and let the longer base do its job. If you are riding a high-performance shortboard in punchy, quality surf, the Mick Fanning PC set fits that combination well.
FCS II Plug System
These fins use the FCS II tab system, which installs and removes without tools. The tabs click directly into FCS II fin boxes and lock securely without a fin key. Installation takes seconds, making it straightforward to swap setups between sessions or boards. FCS II is the dominant plug standard in performance shortboard surfing and is compatible with the vast majority of performance shortboards currently shaped with FCS boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the FCS 2 Mick Fanning PC Tri Fins designed for?
- They are designed for power surfing. The longer base, flat foil, and PC flex pattern work together to deliver maximum drive for hard snaps off the top and long roundhouse cutbacks. They perform best on open-face and down-the-line waves at point and reef breaks.
- What is PC material in FCS fins?
- PC stands for Performance Core. It is a composite construction that sits between fibreglass and plastic in stiffness, producing a dynamic flex that loads and releases energy through turns. The result is lively speed with a controlled, consistent feel under powerful surfing.
- Are FCS 2 Mick Fanning fins compatible with my board?
- Yes, provided your board has FCS II fin boxes. The FCS II tab system installs and removes without a fin key. These fins are matched to performance and concaved shortboard shapes with moderate-to-extreme rocker profiles.
- Do FCS 2 fins require a fin key to install?
- No. The FCS II tab system installs and removes tool-free. The tabs click directly into FCS II fin boxes and lock securely without any additional hardware.
- How do FCS 2 Mick Fanning tri fins compare to a twin or quad setup?
- A tri setup balances drive and pivot. The Mick Fanning template leans toward drive: the longer base and flat foil prioritize powerful carves and hard snaps rather than the loose feel of a twin or the raw speed of a quad. If your surfing is rail-to-rail with aggressive top turns, the tri configuration suits that approach.
- What wave types are best for the Mick Fanning PC Tri Fins?
- Open-face and down-the-line waves where you can generate speed and lay into full-rail turns. Point breaks and reef breaks with punchy, quality surf are the ideal environment. The template is not optimized for weak, mushy beach break.
