FCS II JS

Owners rating:

The FCS II JS shaper fin, developed in collaboration with Jason Stevenson, is designed for surfers seeking reliability in bigger waves while maintaining the ability to release the tail and surf progressively in smaller waves. Featuring the PC Carbon construction, it reduces weight and increases stiffness in the lower two-thirds of the fin. The carbon tissue inlay provides quicker memory recall during turns. The extra-long base delivers drive and speed, while the tapered tip allows for release at vertical angles. Suitable for intermediate and advanced surfers, this fin offers security, smooth transitions, and tail release on the open face.

Description by the brand

Jason Stevenson’s ‘JS’ shaper fin updated for 2023. Great for surfers looking for a fin that’ll feel dependable in bigger waves, but still want the ability to release the tail and surf progressively in smaller waves.

Overview

All new construction has enabled us to produce the most responsive JS fin to date. AirCore reduces weight and creates more stiffness in the bottom 2/3 of the fin. The carbon tissue inlay helps distribute the flex where it’s needed most and provides quicker memory recall when executing a turn.
The extra-long base produces lots of drive and speed. The tip is quite tapered and narrow which allows the fin to release out of the lip when pushed hard on more vertical angles of attack.
“The best surfers in the world have used this fin to win multiple events, so we know it works.” – Jason Stevenson
This fin is designed for intermediate and above surfers. On the open face it’ll feel secure when carving a longer turn, very smooth when transitioning between turns, with a nice offering of tail release when needed. This fin is all about flow!

Board Types

This fin can be used across most of the JS range as well as other performance and hybrid models.
Performance boards with deep concaves and moderate-to-extreme rocker.
