Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today it's how to fit FCS
fins to FCS2 plug boxes, I've got this gorgeous 9'2 Shibui performance longboard with a single
centre fin and I want to put some side bites on it just to give me a bit of extra performance, it's
much easier to use FCS2 fins but I've got some old FCS fins so I'm just going to get these fitted.
And what you need is an FCS2 surfboard fins compatibility infill kit now you can get
these from most local surf shops and these come with the infill plugs and the screws
and hopefully you'll also get an FCS fin key as well if you don't get a fin key with it
or you haven't got one it's basically just an allen key so if you've got a small allen key
you can use that and this is the world's smallest puzzle so take one of your infills
they can go either way up so make sure depending on how deep your
fin box is slot that into the groove and that one's a pretty good fit then take your FCS
fin make sure you put your side bite fins in the right way it will have a straight
edge on the inside and a curved edge on the outer side just slide that down this one's
quite stiff because it's a brand new board get that nice and flush then take your fin screws
and your fin key
just screw this in to tighten the fin into the FCS2 box just be very careful when you're putting
this in because you do not want to damage the threads make sure it goes in nice and easily
because you're screwing in metal into plastic and you can easily damage that thread
so this one's going in nice and sweet, now
as soon as it starts tightening up against the fin then stop tightening
it because we want to get the other screw in the other side
and get that reasonably tight before we tighten them up both a last final time
then you've got the screw on the other side
to just get this one in again be very gentle with this make sure it goes in nice and easily
100% 'Lurgs'.
Fantastic as soon as it starts biting against the fin just another small turn just to lock
that into place just do one final turn on each one just so it's nice and level
that fin is now nice and tight we've just got the other side to do
because this is a brand new board this one was a little bit tighter just with my
normal fin key so I've got this other fin key which just has a bit more leverage on it
to just get those two screws in there as with the other thing get those two screws reasonably tight
and then just do one final turn on each just so the pressure is nice and parallel on each side
look at that
looking absolutely fabulous can't wait to get this in the water
Little hand says it's time to rock and roll
First have a nice cup of tea then we'll go and hit the waves
We'll get
him when he comes back in
He's not coming back
Anybody been out there? No one's been out, no one's going out, got be crazy man,
death on a stick out there mate. But I knew you wouldn't miss the 50 year storm 'Lurgs'.
Yep. Too bad, 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.
