FCS II Gabriel Medina Performance Core Thruster Fins
Model: FCS Performer
Construction: Performance Core
Fin set: Thruster
Fin base: FCS II
Gabriel Medina has rekindled his partnership with the FCS team. This time, he brings a new dimension with his new signature GM Performer template with a custom flex pattern and smaller centre fin.
Overview
Medina's illustrious 3 x WSL World Titles were paved with the reliability of the Performer template. This latest GM Performer incorporates AirCore technology, producing a custom flex pattern that sits between the PC and PC Carbon constructions. This flex strikes the perfect balance of drive, power and explosive flair through turns.
The Performer template has long been celebrated for its adaptability, ensuring a consistent and dependable feel across diverse surf conditions from beach breaks to point breaks. Medina's signature set is spec'd with a downsized centre fin delivering a balance of speed, flow, & quick and easy tail release.
What also distinguishes this template is its concaved inside face known as Inside Foil Technology (IFT), a design element that enhances grip on the wave face, and helps surfers sustain momentum throughout their turn pathway.

A quick note about our photos!
We use a mix of official brand images and real-life shots from our warehouse to help you make an informed decision.
That said, what you see might differ slightly from what you receive — simply because we can't photograph every possible variation.
For example, a photo might show a 6'2 board with Futures fin boxes, while you've selected a 5'10 with FCS II. Don’t worry — you’ll get exactly what you ordered.
Sometimes, small details like the logo, its placement or overall colour tones can vary slightly depending on the production batch, camera, lighting, or even your screen settings.
These are always only minor differences, and in most cases, the photos are spot on - but we totally get that buying online can feel tricky. If you ever want more details, just drop us a message — we're happy to help!
