FCS Connect PG Screw & Plate Longboard Fin

The FCS Connect Performance Glass Longboard Fin is a versatile, well-balanced single fin designed to deliver an ideal combination of drive, speed and responsive turning for modern longboarding.

Featuring FCS's popular Connect template, this fin has a neutral, balanced outline that allows you to smoothly link turns and transition up and down your longboard. Rather than being dedicated purely to noseriding or pivot-style surfing, the Connect is designed as an all-round longboard fin for a wide range of conditions.

Versatile All-Round Longboard Fin

The Connect is designed for surfers who want a longboard fin capable of doing a little bit of everything.

Its balanced combination of base, depth and sweep creates drive through turns, speed down the line and predictable response as you transition from rail to rail. FCS specifically describes the Connect as a versatile high-performance longboard fin suitable for all conditions.

This makes it a great option for performance longboards, all-round longboards and surfers who mix trimming with more progressive turning.

Performance Glass Construction

The FCS Connect is constructed from Performance Glass (PG), using layers of solid fibreglass that are machine-cut to create a stiff and responsive fin.

Performance Glass maintains the integrity of its flex under significant load, giving the fin a positive, controlled feel through harder turns and more powerful surfing.

For surfers looking for a premium fibreglass longboard fin, PG construction provides a more performance-focused feel than softer moulded fin constructions.

Traditional Screw & Plate Fin

This version of the FCS Connect uses a traditional screw-and-plate fastening system.

That's worth making clear because FCS also produces an FCS II Connect using its tool-less longboard system. The screw-and-plate version is ideal for surfers who prefer the familiar and secure traditional longboard fin setup.

Single Fin or 2+1 Setup

The FCS Connect is also 2+1 compatible, giving it excellent versatility across different longboard designs.

Depending on the size of the fin and your board, it can be used as the centre fin in a 2+1 configuration or as the main single fin in an appropriate longboard setup.

This makes the Connect particularly useful if you have several boards in your quiver or like experimenting with different longboard fin configurations.

FCS Connect Fin Sizes

FCS produces the screw-and-plate Connect PG in several sizes using the same 33.7° sweep and 50/50 foil:

• 6" – 4.27" base / 6.00" depth
• 7" – 4.99" base / 7.01" depth
• 8" – 5.64" base / 7.96" depth
• 9" – 6.43" base / 9.03" depth
• 10" – 7.13" base / 10.01" depth

If your FlowState page carries only some of these sizes, I'd only list the sizes you actually stock rather than displaying the entire FCS range.

Perfect For

Performance longboards, all-round longboards, single-fin setups, 2+1 longboards, trimming, carving, linking turns and surfers looking for a versatile everyday longboard fin.

Why You'll Love It

The FCS Connect PG Longboard Fin is a strong choice if you don't want an overly specialised longboard fin.

Its neutral template provides a balance between drive, speed and manoeuvrability, allowing you to connect turns while still moving freely up and down the board.

The combination of Performance Glass construction and traditional screw-and-plate mounting also makes this particular version appealing to surfers who want the performance of a premium FCS fibreglass fin while retaining a conventional longboard fin-box setup.

For surfers searching for a versatile longboard single fin in New Zealand, the FCS Connect PG is an excellent all-round option for modern longboarding.
