FCS II Accelerator Neo Glass Eco Red Tri Fins
FCSThis fast, drivey fin is very complimentary to the wally, long waves that we have in Victoria. These are also a great choice for boards with more tail rocker, or to get a bit more speed & drive out of you everyday shortboard. Generally speaking for drive, projection & speed down the line many people opt for a more raked fin template. This extra rake in a fin’s shape does make your turning circle larger & more drawn out.
The FCS II Accelerator template gives you the speed and projection of a raked back fin while still allowing for a tight turning circle when you put your board on rail. The key to this extra drive, projection & speed down the line in the FCSII Accelerator is the placement of the fin relative to the finbox.
The FCS II Accelerator fin template sits a little further back towards the tail than many of the other fin templates – this further back position = speed & drive (although this can also make a board a bit stiffer & harder to turn). The less raked/more upright shape of the Accelerator means that it’s turning circle is still quite tight. In effect, you get the best of both worlds – extra speed & drive with a tight turning circle.

Constructed out of a blend of sustainably sourced materials - the Neo Glass Eco range delivers the same feel as their predecessors while helping to reduce environmental impact.
The new Neo Glass Eco range is a high performance, injection moulded fin. The highest amount of Bio-based resin possible has been used in their construction - replacing petroleum-based content. The use of this material means that these fins have a substantially smaller carbon footprint than traditional materials (with 50% Bio-Resin EcoBlend™ sourced from renewable castor oil and 50% fibreglass).
The resulting premium, high-strength nylon and high fibreglass content ensures all fins in the Neo Glass Eco range have a fantastic, positive feeling flex pattern. They also come in a variety of sizes and templates (Accelerator, Carver, Performer & Reactor) to accommodate a wide range of surfers and surfing conditions.
