FCS II Al Merrick Performance Core Twin Fins + 1
Model: FCS Specialty
Construction: Performance Core
Fin set: 2 + 1
Fin base: FCS II
The AM Twin + 1 is the original twin template from the CI brand. This twin set is designed for speed and quick and easy turning.
Overview
This twin template has a robust base which produces exceptional drive, and a very tapered, narrow tip that releases fast and easily when turning off the top.
The low sweep of this twin template means it stands very upright, helping the board to pivot in a very tight radius while minimising drag. The side fins also sit quite deep in the water which adds an underlying feeling of stability when driving through more powerful turns.
The trailer fin is offset from the standard shapers dot position, and has been moved forward on the fin tabs. This essentially tightens the overall fin cluster making it more usable on twin + 1 models and hybrid boards such as the G-Skate and the Rocket Wide.

Board Types

Performance Core
Performance Core (PC) fins are made using a multi-layered resin transfer molding process. The flex pattern in PC fins extends progressively from the base through to the tip, helping the surfer to maintain drive and hold through a turn. This versatile fin material is light, and can be used in a variety of different conditions.
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!
