Are you after the manufacturer or type of fin it takes? Takes FCS1 (twin tab)

It looks a lot like a Surfinz box - usually the front fin boxes have ‘surfinz’ written on them, the centre just has that ‘X’

My boards all have surfinz boxes, they are good

Thanks dtc, I have never seen these fin boxes before,
There on my tiki Prozac 6’1 board, I have fcs1’s installed.
It’s a strange design for a fin box.

Since it is a Prozac board I assume doesn’t get heel,depressions! :D

There are 2 main benefits to surfinz- they are apparently stronger than standard FCS; but also they allow you to move your fins slightly forward or back, and they have a specific cant which makes it easier for shapers.
