FCS II Single PG Paddle Pop Fin

The FCS II Single PG Paddle Pop Fin is a full-bodied Performance Glass single fin designed to deliver a stable, predictable feel with tight and controlled turning performance.

Featuring a low-sweep, low-rake template, this fin provides plenty of stability through the base while allowing the board to turn in a tighter arc. FCS recommends the design for performance single-fin surfboards and Bonzer models, making it an excellent option for surfers looking for a responsive alternative to more heavily raked single-fin templates.

Low-Rake Single Fin Template

The Paddle Pop's defining characteristic is its low sweep or rake.

Reducing the amount of rake keeps more of the fin positioned vertically beneath the board. This creates a tighter turning radius and allows you to perform controlled direction changes without the longer, drawn-out feel associated with heavily swept-back fins.

Combined with the fin's full-bodied template, this produces a reassuring balance of stability, control and manoeuvrability.

Performance Glass Construction

The FCS II Single Paddle Pop is constructed from Performance Glass (PG).

FCS Performance Glass fins are machine-cut from layers of solid fibreglass, producing a stiff and responsive fin that maintains the integrity of its flex under substantial load. It's a construction widely used by high-level surfers where predictable response and control are important.

Designed for Performance Single Fins & Bonzers

FCS specifically recommends this template for performance single-fin surfboards and Bonzer models.

Its combination of a fuller outline and reduced rake makes it particularly suited to boards where you want dependable hold but don't want an overly drawn-out turning characteristic.

That also distinguishes the Paddle Pop from many of the dedicated longboard fins in the FCS range. While it uses a single-fin format, its design is focused more towards performance single-fin surfing than traditional logging or dedicated noseriding.

FCS II Tool-Less Convenience

The FCS II system makes it quick and easy to install, remove and reposition the fin without relying on the traditional screw-and-plate arrangement.

Being able to move the fin forward or backward in the box also lets you fine-tune the feel of your board — moving it forward generally frees up the turning response, while moving it further back increases stability and hold.

Paddle Pop Colourway

The distinctive Paddle Pop finish gives this Performance Glass fin a colourful retro appearance that works particularly well with alternative and performance single-fin surfboards.

Because both of your sizes are the same Paddle Pop colourway, I would definitely include Paddle Pop in the Page Title, Meta Description and H1, while leaving the size out so the one FlowState page can cover both variants.
