Laminar flow. Aerospace precision. An innovative new collaboration between FCS and Matt Parker of Album Surfboards.
Surfers have been riding the same twin fin profiles for decades — either a flat inside face or an asymmetric 80/20 foil. The FCS II Album Laminar Twin moves beyond that convention. Most fin foils disturb the water early, creating turbulence and drag; a laminar profile is shaped to do the opposite, keeping water attached to the fin surface for as long as possible. Less disruption, more drive, more control.
The profile goes further through its camber — a gentle, intentional curve built into the foil from the leading edge. Where a flat or symmetric foil waits for the surfer to load it, a cambered foil is already working, actively generating lateral force through the turn and building hold from the moment you engage your rail, even at low speed. That camber peaks at 40% of the chord length forward of centre, loading the front of the foil first, so the fin builds pressure early in the turn and carries it all the way through rather than spiking and releasing.
Developed in direct collaboration with Matt Parker and his team at Album Surfboards, this set delivers speed, balanced pivot and balanced projection — and rewards rail surfing as much as it rewards speed.
Performance Glass
Performance Glass (PG) fins are machine-cut from layers of solid fibreglass. These fins are stiff and are widely used by pro-level surfers because the integrity of the flex is maintained under immense force, and in the most extreme of conditions and situations.
