I am sure FCS are sitting on a PC version of the K3 fin, since they already make it in Fibreglass and Glass Flex, and perhaps plan to *slowly* release others.
Anyone else wondered about this?
the yu was always a very underated fin...but it was a fussy bitch and lent itself too only a special board
as far the occy goes....it's seems well reinvented in the new julian model but with brighter colours
it's alllllll about the colour

The old Occy FCS appear juvenile next to his kinetic model.
I believe Parko had Occy signature fins on board when he carved up Bells this year.
And Occy’s are a much nicer colour than JW’s

Nice thread resuss Fong.
I have seen a YU model in RTM made by Truames, but it's bigger than the original FCS one in depth and height ( sweep is the same I think ).
I think the kinetik Occy is nothing like the old FCS one... in fact I couldn't imagine Occy ever using it! I had some solid fibreglass ones made a while ago, dunno what happened to them. They were yellow and everything.
Been working on balsa / kevlar cores, made some K2.1's but I snapped them off at the tabs already. Back to the drawing board...
