FCS Gabriel Medina PC Aircore Large Thruster Fins

The FCS II Gabriel Medina Signature Tri Fins were developed in collaboration with three-time World Champion Gabriel Medina, combining the versatility of the classic Performer template with a signature flex pattern, ultra-lightweight construction, and a downsized centre fin. Designed to deliver speed, flow, and control, these fins provide a dynamic, balanced response for progressive surfing and explosive manoeuvres.

The GM Performer template represents an evolution of one of FCS's most versatile fin designs, a template Gabriel Medina relied on throughout his competitive career. Its balanced geometry delivers drive and stability through turns while maintaining the responsiveness needed for quick direction changes and technical manoeuvres. The smaller centre fin encourages easier tail release, allowing surfers to perform faster, looser manoeuvres without sacrificing control.

The Performance Core + AirCore construction features a pressed polyurethane foam core that follows the geometric foil of the fin. This technology reduces the amount of fibreglass required during the RTM moulding process, creating a lighter structure while allowing precise manipulation of the flex pattern. For the Gabriel Medina model, this signature flex has been engineered to sit between traditional PC and PC Carbon constructions, delivering a refined balance of drive, power, and explosive responsiveness through turns.

Another defining feature is Inside Foil Technology (IFT), incorporated into the inside face of the side fins. This concave foil design enhances grip on the wave face and helps maintain momentum throughout the turn, promoting smooth transitions and consistent responsiveness during manoeuvres.

The combination of IFT side fins, signature flex, and a reduced centre fin creates an effective balance between stability and freedom of movement. Surfers benefit from drive and projection through bottom turns, followed by faster tail release during manoeuvres through the lip, supporting fast, fluid, and progressive surfing.

Part of the Performer - Find Balance family, these fins excel through their versatility across a wide range of conditions, from beach breaks to point breaks. Compatible with the FCS II Fin System and recommended for various surfboard types, they are an excellent choice for surfers seeking maximum performance, control, and effortless manoeuvrability in one fin set.
