About FCS

FCS is an Australian surf hardware brand founded in 1992. They're best known for the FCS fin system — the removable-fin system that's now on 90% of new surfboards — but they also make travel bags, leashes, board covers, and SUP paddles.

FCS doesn't make car roof racks in the traditional sense, but their travel-bag and soft-rack systems are the standard for surfers traveling with boards. The FCS D-Ring Soft Racks are the most-used universal soft racks among traveling surfers.

Pricing is mid-tier and the products hold up to salt water in a way that cheaper alternatives don't.

Did you know?

FCS was founded in 1992 by Brian Whitty in Sydney, Australia and the original FCS fin plug — the one that revolutionized surfboard fin systems — was invented in a garage in Cronulla. FCS fins are now standard on about 90% of new shortboards sold worldwide.
