I love these things. Im very guilty of riding shore breakers too far in. Plus my heavy weight makes me a surf fin breaker. Most of my boards have been repaired which is costly.
With my newest surfboard, I again rode a wave in too far. It was during the local surfing competition called the Belmar Pro. I must of been too stoked by riding next to pros from all over the world.
So I broke my fin. Since its FCS I simply jumped of, used a key to remove the broken fin and keep surfing. It had small damage, so I let the local surf shop (where i bought the board) repair it. EasternLines
If this was a permanent fin type board, I would be screwed.
So many thanks to FCS.
PS> there are some really cool designer or artistic fins FCS offers. Cool stuff.
…and my door does rock the “FCS- Screw the system!” Sticker.
