Hey guys, quick question, do you know where I could get the fin key to FCS/Merrick fins? Or what I could possibly use to remove them?

They are only allen keys - get one from the local hardware shop.

Indeed they are but as FCS im pretty sure are from america there's a strong possibility that the key size will be imperial not metric. But of course you may already be in america, in which case you should be ok.

Yeah, these FCS fins are pretty frustrating. Anything with a hexagonal/Allen key lock frustrates me because you have to worry about the key stripping and the slot getting rounded...

Well, I found a set of Allen keys I had in a toolbox, but unfortunately none of them fit...but the closest one would have to be a 3/32 which I am missing at the moment. Would that be the right one? Before I blow money on a silly, L-shaped piece of metal...

We sell replacement FCS keys for £1. If u strip one of the screws, u can get one of the EZI-out tools to get them out.

Some boardshorts have a built in FCS key on the wax comb included in the pocket, think they were Billabong but can't remember for sure.

Billabong, Quicksilver, Hurley, and all of the other boardshorts I have bought in the last year have the key/comb combo.
