FCS's latest innovation in fin design & construction introduces the brand new 2010 model H-3 Nexus. The H-3 Nexus fin is a progression from the ground breaking H-2 design in construction that was critically acclaimed. The H-3 takes it's place as the top of the range thruster fin set with untouchable performance through drive & hold. Described by many pro surfers as the ultimate set of fins for ultimate performance. If yo could just have one set of fins then the H-3 Nexus would be the ones.
Medium
- Optimum weight range: 65kg
- 80kg
Specification
The Ultra Light Epoxy construction gives the fins the lightest of weight engineered with Bi-axial Carbon & Uni-directional Kevlar to guarantee the integrity of the flex & foils. Carbon provides stiffness in the base while allowing appropriate flex patterns from the mid to tip of the fin.
Tricoil Technology
Tricoil technology provides multi-directional flex patterns for generating energy & de-coils through turns to release speed & give increased acceleration. This process produces a slingshot, or whipping effect as the surfer transitions through a turning arc. The key to this unique feature is the engineered Bi-axial Carbon & Uni-directional Kevlar, with the elliptic template, cambered foiled, & the RTM construction process.
Elliptical Template
Enhances flex, generates exceptional speed, & minimizes cavitation & water separation.
Inspired from the H-2 template featuring a more contemporary outline.
Longer base increases drive, moderate volume in the tip enhances the flex & coil characteristics, smooth transitional trailing edge reduces water separation.
Foil
Heavily cambered foil at the base transitions to a low cambered foil in the tip.
Provides a balance of drive & hold versus stability & control.
Key elements in the hydrodynamic H-2 foil have been applied to the FCS H-3 NEXUS.
UL (Ultra Light Epoxy)
Ultra-Light Epoxy was developed by FCS to create the lightest possible fin with superior flex properties while ensuring strength & foil accuracy. By minimising weight without sacrificing response of flex & strength, Ultra-Light Epoxy is our lead construction process delivering the ultimate in performance.
