FCS II Aircore - significantly lighter, greater response and finer tuned flex.

Lighter, greater response and finer tuned flex.  Aircore is a relatively new construction method that FCS have started implementing to a greater extent across their fin range. Built using a resin transfer moulding process which infuses a pressed polyurethane foam core & layers of fibreglass with epoxy resin. This construction method uses less fibreglass and resin while creating a lighter, ultra-responsive fin with a finely tuned flex pattern.  The AirCore construction method gives greater scope for customising the flex of each fin model (compared to traditional fin constructions) allowing for the precise tuning of flex to suit each fin model, fin size and rider preference.

AirCore fins are also significantly lighter than any other fins in the FCS range. AirCore fins also flex faster than traditional fin constructions. So, when you load them up (flex them by push against your fins through a turn), they snap back to their original, unflexed state quicker.  This means quicker, less delayed reaction times and a more lively, positive feeling under-foot.
