Yes mate, kinda weird but allows you to move em around like 1cm adjustment either way . Screwed in from deck side
from what I can tell they were around in like 2005 era which must mean it was shaped around then
I don't remember those fins even in that era but it says al Merrick model on em so they must have been relatively prevalent ,
only issue is if I lose one I'm stuffed (unless uncle finds some)

Awesome fin system. Shat on FCS.

They were made in the USA by block surf. Supposedly he still has some in storage you can order.

Nice board tooo. Carvers are fun.

The power of marketing win that battle? Or what happened if they were so good ?

Yeah $$ in marketing. I think gorrila grip bought FCS and smashed them.

They were a great system, super strong, little bit of forward and back movement but ultimately beaten by the sales team.

Redx fins in McT Fireball ..
Getting a remake soon. Are they a collector's item cause the board is past its use by date.

You can still get copies of them. They are plastic and prone to snapping though. Keep an eye on screw as they do loosen and you won't want it to drop into the ocean.
