THE LATEST EVOLUTION IN FIN DESIGN COMES WITH A TWIST
The FCS H-3 NEXUS features TRICOIL technology, a dynamic flex pattern that effectively stores and releases energy as the surfer transitions from one turn into the next. This transition between turns is where most surfers struggle to maintain speed.
At FCS we believe we’ve solved this problem by designing a fin with a highly efficient template, material stability, minimal drag characteristics, and above all, unparalleled flex properties. From the moment you ride the FCS H-3 NEXUS you’ll realise this fin has something special. Whether your surfing tight in the
pocket or carving on the open face, you can surf confidently knowing all the elements of the fin are working in synergy to deliver the ultimate advantage, more speed. The performance of the H-3 Nexus is seamless; yet quite deliberate in the way it feels. As the evolution of the FCS H-Series continues, so does the way we ride waves.
FLEX
To make a fin that performs more efficiently we had to ensure it could flex in multiple directions. FCS TRICOIL Technology is the latest development in fin flexion which draws on the material lay-up of the fin, the cambered foil, and the overall fin template. The result is a multi-directional flex pattern. This unique flex pattern allows the fin to ‘load-up’ and flex under pressure, and then de-coil once the pressure is released.
Ultimately the fin stores energy during the transition between turns and then gives it back to the surfer in the form of speed and acceleration. The feeling can be compared to a slingshot, or whipping effect as the surfer
enters and then exits through the turning arc.
