MORE POWER! MORE CONTROL!
The curved shape of the fin base reduces water resistance, and the fin body has a wide contact area with the board body,
This is a detachable fin system that provides an excellent sense of unity with the board, just like on-board fins.
The POWER BASE fin plug (cup) is oval in shape.
The left and right side fins have their own unique shape and are different oval shapes.
The center fin is also a special oval shape.

The fins are inserted but the screws have not yet been tightened.
*There is a gap between the board body and the fin body.
When you tighten the screw, the fin plug attached to the board body is pressed against the bottom of the fin body,
This is the structure that fits tightly together.
The reason why the fins stick to the board is because the fin legs are structured like this.
This is because when the screw is tightened, the fin body is pushed downward.

The board equipped with this POWER BASE fin system is
The fins can be moved back and forth to set them, allowing you to fine-tune the way the board moves.
The side fins are adjustable by approximately 5mm and the center fin by approximately 7mm.
The two photos above and below show
the side fins .
Compare the fin positions in the photos above and below.
The top photo shows the fins at the rear, and the bottom photo shows the fins at the front.

How to adjust the fin position:
A. If you position the fins forward (towards the nose), the movement will be lighter.
B. Positioning the fin further back (towards the tail) will extend the turn.
C. If all the fins are set in the center, it will be better than A.
The movement becomes lighter and the board moves sharper.
D. The board is most stable when all fins are spaced apart.
The arc of the turn becomes larger and the turn has more drive.
==============================================================
When the fin is damaged, it will fall down.
The fins are supported by an oval fin plug that is slightly larger than the fin itself, which is designed to reduce damage to the board itself caused by the fin plug collapsing, a weakness of previous detachable fin systems.
Boards equipped with the POWER BASE fin system plug include:
It's great that you can also install the FCS fins you've been using until now!
