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 :lol:

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. :D

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. :cry:

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... :oops:
