Kelly says, the FCS K3 Fins fins are perfect for down the line walls & long turns. I actually started using the FCS K3 fins 3 years ago when I needed a better fin for the long walled waves at Rincon. Now I've been on the FCS K3 s for over three years. They have been my magic set. I originally designed the k 2.1 with beach breaks & barrels in mind, & I still use them in these sorts of conditions. With the FCS K3 s & the k 2.1 s you should be set for pretty much any sort of waves you find.
- Kelly Slater Kelly has really put the FCS K3 fins to the test over the past 3 years he s had a lot of CT wins on them, J-bay twice, Bells this year Trestles last year just to name a few. FCS is really excited to offer the K3 s up on his behalf. They complete the fin quiver that he draws from on tour. Said FCS s Tyler Callaway, the FCS K3 fins are available in Performance Glass for a stiff, traditional feel which are the exact same fin that Kelly Slater rode to his 8th world title. The FCS K3 fins are also available in Glass Flex & FCS s Composite material that mimics the flex properties of glass & is precision molded. The FCS K3 fin template is a bit deeper & features slightly less base area than the K2.1 with a smaller more raked tip. This will allow the K3's to provides drive & 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 & forgiving performance in sticky situation. All of this combined with the responsive materials of Glass Flex & 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. The refined foil allows efficient water flow, minimizing drag & cavitation. The FCS K3 Fins are an aesthetically striking fin, featuring 8 concentric circles to represent Kelly s 8 world titles.FCS K3 Fin
