Crucial Hardware: The FCS II Matt Biolos MB Shaper Fin

Hardware is a dark art for a lot of surfers, or a foreign language at the very least. Yeah, we all know we need good rudders. But do we know what makes a good fin? Or, more importantly, what makes a fin good for each of us personally? If you don’t have the time/patience to become a fin analyst, then go for an all-rounder. This is an area that the FCS II Shaper Fins specialise in. And few more so than the new Matt Biolos fin. It’s no secret that Biolos crafts are some of the most sought-after in our sport. So, it should be no surprise that his fin is a worker for anyone in the intermediate to expert range. Biolos works with some of the best and is a man that knows how to utilise feedback, so anything he puts his name to will be, in some way, a collaborative effort with any number of pros. The new MB is about drive, hold and manoeuvrability. And, it comes with choices: S, M, L, tri or tri-quad options. More here.
