Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today it's how to fit FCS2 fins
to your FCS2 fin boxes and today I'm going to be fitting a tri-fin thruster set setup
on my Shibui mid shred surfboard and this is an absolute work of art, if you want to fit your old
FCS fins into FCS2 fin boxes there's a link above now about how to do that. Make sure
your surfboard is on something nice and soft I've just put this on top of my surfboard bag
I've got my three fins here make sure you put them in the right place
you've got the outer ones and obviously the centre fin, the centre fin has got a convex shape
on either side the outer fins will be straight on the inside and convex on the outside so make
sure you definitely put them in the right place and we'll start off putting the centre fin in
Now it's a little bit windy today so I'm going to put the surfboard inside
the bag because it's blowing about a bit and I don't want it to hit the driveway,
now this one already came with the fin screws already in the fin box
so I'm just going to undo them just so the fin goes in nice and easily, now with the FCS2 fins
obviously you don't need fin screws to hold them in but I just like to put them in anyway just for
that bit of extra security just so you don't lose them if you bash the fin while you're out surfing
So take your centre fin
This is convex on both sides
Slot that front bracket into the nubbin at the front
So that's in place there and then you just need to push it down but don't do it yet what you need to
do is get a hand underneath your surfboard even though it's on top of a bag as well just to give
it a bit of support and then with the weight of your arm just slot it down and there we go that
is now slotted in, now as I mentioned earlier you don't have to put the fin screws in but I like to
do that anyway just remember if you ever take the fins out that the fin screws are in there!
So take your FCS fin key and just tighten those up
don't go crazy with them tighten it up until it reaches the fin and you get
a bit of resistance then just a tiny bit more of a turn just to hold it into place
Fantastic that's the centre one in
Now we're going to fit one of the side ones,
again make sure it's the right one straight edge on the inside convex curve on the outside
In fact these ones are obvious because you've got the Shibui logo on the outside of the fin so slot
it into that nubbin at the front hold underneath the surfboard push down tighten up the fin screws
Whilst I'm doing that there's a link above now about how to de-wax your surfboard for
free without having to buy expensive de-waxing solutions. Let's put the other side bite in
Lovely jubbly
Tighten up those fin screws
Look at that absolutely fantastic can't wait to get this new Shibui board in the water
Pleased with that, put my fin key back
with all my surfing bits it's time to get in the water.
If you ever want to remove your FCS2 fins there's a link above now about how to do that.
Anybody been out there? No one's been out no one's going
out gotta be crazy man death on a stick out there mate.
We'll get him when he comes back in
He's not coming back. But I knew you wouldn't miss the 50 year storm 'Lurgs'.
Yeah. Too bad you finally get your waves and its totally closed out.
Just waiting for my set. You gotta go down, people trusted you with this FCS fin video and they died.
Yep went bad went real bad. Life sure has a sick sense of humour doesn't it. RIP Bodhi.
