FCS but I've only tried them and Power Drive System and glassed in fins so far. Out of those 3 the PDS didn't have the variety of fins and the glassed in ones were shite for travelling so FCS wins due to large choice of fins. And I prefer, in average waves, K2.1s :D .

FCS fins are crap, try some futures sometime. I really like the Vector 3/2 fins, but now i gotta try the 4/3 sometime.

yeah, you wont regret getting the futures, try the vector 3/2 or 4/3 sometime, they work really good.

gulf did you mess around with different fcs before you swiched? I'm trying to improve one of my boards, I was thinking about trying thet k2.1's or one of the others in the k series, or some of the occy fins, do you have any opinions?

The only fcs fins i've had were some that came on a used board, and fcs probably has some fins that work good, but its just the design of them that i dont like. With fcs you just have the 2 parts of the fin that go into the box but with futures, the whole bottom of the fin goes in so i guess its a bit more sturdy.

well the board I'm looking to improve I can't really change the sistem easily, so I'm trying to find something that's going to help it.

thanks anyway, does anyone else have any fcs recomendations?

I'm thinking gam, kfin composite, the fg-3s' or the k2.1

I decided I don't need 16 sq" of fin area that the occy fins have

Ya, that prolly would be good. The fins are probably really good, its just the box and stuff that i dont like a whole lot. But if a boards got a fcs box theres nothing you can do, so just try some different fins and see what you like best.
