Set of three fins in an FCS Wallet complete with a Fin Key.

The FCS K3 fin template is a bit deeper and features slightly less base area than the K2.1 with a smaller more raked tip. This will allow the K3's to provides drive and the ability to draw out longer arcing turns. With a rigid base combined with a tapered flexible tip results in a progressive flex pattern, for quick rail transitions and forgiving performance in sticky situation. All of this combined with the responsive materials of Glass Flex and Performance Glass produces the K3 a fin that turns incredibly tight through snaps due to the added flex in the tip. The FCS Flex fixture was used to measure the flex pattern of Kelly s magic set. So that the same flex pattern could engineered into the K3 Glass Flex version.

Glass Flex has been formulated to replicate the flex and memory properties of laminated fibreglass. Its advantages over other composite fin materials include stiffness, a more positive flex pattern (nice tip flex, little base flex) and remarkable flex memory. The precision of the injection moulding process ensures the highest accuracy in geometry in each fin product.
