The Heart of the FCS PG Pro Fins: Performance Glass

What is Performance Glass Material?

Performance Glass, or PG, is a material that lives up to its name. It's a type of glass used in fin construction that offers reactive flex properties without the need for a performance core or air core. Keoni explains that the specialized foiling and tapering of the PG material allows for a more reactive flex pattern, providing surfers with a distinct feel and performance compared to other fin options.

 

What kind of surfer the Performance Glass are for?

One of the key benefits of the PG Pro Fins is their suitability for larger, more powerful surfers. Keoni notes that these fins are perfect for intermediate to expert-level surfers who may have felt that they were overpowering their current fins, as the PG material allows them to leverage their strength and generate more drive and hold through their turns.

Comparison to Iconic Templates

Keoni compares the feel of the PG Pro Fins to the classic templates designed by renowned shapers like Mick Fanning, Filipe Toledo, and Al Merrick. He explains that the PG material "supercharges" these existing templates, providing a more reliable and predictable performance without sacrificing the familiar feel that these surfers have come to love. Compared to aircore fins, the PG Pro Fins offer a more pronounced feel of drive, speed, and cadence through the surfer's turns.

The PG Pro Fin feels

The PG Pro Fins offer a distinct feel compared to other fin options, with a more pronounced sense of drive, speed, and cadence through the surfer's turns. Keoni notes that the specialized foiling and tapering of the PG material allows for a more reactive flex pattern, providing surfers with a unique and enjoyable experience on the water.

Wave Conditions and the PG Pro Fins

When it comes to wave selection, the PG Pro Fins shine in chest-high and larger conditions. Keoni suggests that while smaller, choppy waves may benefit from a more reactive fin, the PG Pro Fins truly excel in the bigger stuff, offering increased drive, speed, and a distinct cadence to the surfer's turns.

Performance Glass Performer for Small Waves

For those seeking a performance-oriented fin for smaller wave conditions, Keoni highlights the PG Pro Performer model. This fin features an inside foil design, which generates additional speed and is well-suited for chest-high and under conditions.
