  1. i have used fcs all my life and the worked fine


  2. Hey grommet or adult midget,

    definitely go with G3 because of your size. Check out the fcs site to see the specifics of size.

  3. FCS is a great system, because it allows you to change out and mix fin setups. However, a set of fins is usually about 50-70 dollars, so when you buy a set, you want to make sure they're right for you.

    I reccomend you get Finatic. Ever heard of Netflix? Its basically the same thing, but for fins. One of my friends does it, and they have almost every type of fin. I know this sounds like an advertisement, but its really a great system. So get this subscription, its like 30 bucks, and you can find and test many different sets of fins to find which is right. When you find the right set, you can either buy it from them, or just get them somewhere else and cancel the service. Short of that, go to a surf shop, bring your board and ask them what would be best.

  4. Well, I did the math and figured that you weigh around 75 lbs. Your are riding a 4'10" surfboard, so I will guess that G-3 is the right answer. But, since i don't know, you, the type of 1-5 foot waves you ride, I would suggest a visit to a local surf shop. The folks who work there know what's best for local conditions, and can discuss things with you and formulate a lot better answer than we can here on line.

  5. G-5 fins are all around fins.  If you want something looser go with like a G3 or G-3000.  Even smaller are the G-1000.  Given your small size probably the G3s.

  6. al merrick FCS fins, there very light and and dont break often. there easy to put on and you can find them somewhere about for like 30-40 dollars maybe, but thats what i have and there really good.
