The New Machado Tri Keel Set by FCS II

September 16, 2020

Overview

• Designed by Rob in conjunction with his Firewire glazer model.
• High-performance keel fin. Low aspect ratio provides the fast and loose feel.
• Side fin more upright for speed. Centre fin more sweep for control.
• “It feels kind of weird to say that because each of the three fins in the thruster set doesn’t look like keel fins, but they’re much shorter than a traditional modern thruster set, and they’re much wider at the base than a traditional modern thruster set. Each of the fins in this new thruster set keeps the same surface area that you’d ride in your normal thruster fins, the surface area is just placed differently to create something new and unique that I really like; a lot more drive than normal when doing cutbacks (something I love from keel fins) and turns, and also a lot more release in the lip (something I like thrusters for).”
