FCS 2 Christenson PG Longboard Fin
A Shaper's Signature, Re-Engineered for the FCS 2 System
The FCS 2 Christenson PG Longboard Fin brings Chris Christenson's longboard geometry into the modern era of tool-free fin systems. Sized to complement mid-length boards at the smaller end of the range and everyday logs at the larger end, this single fin delivers the flow and pivot that longboard surfing demands, without any of the box-day fumbling that older fin systems require.
The signature skull graphic is foil-printed directly onto the fin body, keeping the Christenson collaboration visible while the FCS 2 tab base does the real work underneath.
Performance Glass Construction
PG stands for Performance Glass, FCS's woven fiberglass layup that balances responsiveness with durability. The construction produces a fin with meaningful flex through the tip, which translates to a lively, driven feel through turns, while the stiffer base maintains hold and directional stability when you need to draw a longer line. The fade finish visible from tip to base is a characteristic of the PG layup process, not a coating, so it holds up across salt, sun, and repeated installation cycles.
FCS 2 Longboard System: No Tools, No Plate, No Guessing
Unlike traditional longboard fin systems that require a plate, a screw, and a fin key, the FCS 2 Longboard system uses a dual-tab base that clicks directly into the box. The result is a fast, secure connection that eliminates the most common source of lost fins and stripped screws. Key benefits from the system:
- No plate and screw required
- No fin key needed to install or remove
- Fin inserts and releases in seconds
- Position adjustable in the box mid-surf, without leaving the water
- Compatible with most existing standard longboard boxes; no new box installation required
Who This Fin Is For
The Christenson PG is a natural fit for surfers riding traditional single-fin longboards and mid-length shapes who want a fin that performs consistently across a range of conditions. The template carries enough rake for smooth, flowing turns and enough base for drive when the wave opens up. If you are transitioning from a keyed fin system, the FCS 2 Longboard system removes the friction entirely and lets you focus on surf, not hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the FCS 2 Longboard system and how does it differ from a standard longboard fin box?
- The FCS 2 Longboard system uses a dual-tab base that locks directly into the fin box with no plate, screw, or fin key. Traditional longboard setups require a separate plate and screw tightened with a fin key. The FCS 2 system installs and removes in seconds and lets you shift the fin position in the box without leaving the water.
- Do I need to replace my existing longboard box to use the FCS 2 Christenson fin?
- No. The FCS 2 Christenson Longboard Fin is designed to fit most existing standard longboard boxes, so no new box installation is required.
- What does PG mean in FCS fins?
- PG stands for Performance Glass, FCS's woven fiberglass construction. It delivers a blend of tip flex and base stiffness that produces a lively, responsive feel suited to longboard and mid-length surfing.
- Is the FCS 2 Christenson PG a single fin?
- Yes. This is a single fin designed for standard longboard center boxes and mid-length boards. It is not a thruster or 2+1 side bite fin.
- Can I adjust the fin position while surfing?
- Yes. One of the key advantages of the FCS 2 Longboard system is the ability to shift the fin's position forward or backward in the box mid-surf, without tools and without paddling in.
- What type of boards does the Christenson PG Longboard Fin work with?
- The smaller end of the range is suited to mid-length boards, while the larger sizes work well for traditional everyday logs. Any board with a standard longboard center box is compatible.
- Where can I buy the FCS 2 Christenson PG Longboard Fin?
- The FCS 2 Christenson PG Longboard Fin is available in store and online at Island Water Sports in South Florida.
