ロブマチャドがファイヤーワイヤーのグレイザー用にデザインしたハイパフォーマンス性の高いFCS II トライキールフィンです。ボードに速さとルースなフィーリングをもたらしてくれます。GO FISHからSEASIDEやSEASIDE&BEYONDとデザインを展開していく中で、ボードのデザインと同じ様に試行錯誤したのが「キールフィン」でした。今回GLAZERをデザインした時も少し変わった発想でキールフィンをトライフィン設定でデザインしたらどうなるかで生まれたのがこのフィンです。従来のトライフィン設定と比べフィンの背は低くベースは広いキール特有のテンプレートを受け継いでいます。ただフィンの表面積は従来のトライフィンとほぼ同じです。広いベースはドライブ感が強く、加速を手伝ってくれます。フィンの背は通常のフィンに比べ低いのでボードを押し込んだ際に程よいルース感も生まれます。そしてセンターフィンはサイドフィンより面積が小さいのでターンの際に引っかかる感じが少ないです。
Designed by Rob in conjunction with his Firewire "Glazer" Model, this high-performance keel fin provides a fast and loose feel.The ‘keel-lification’ of the modern thruster. From Rob: “I was on this keel kick with Go Fish keels a couple years ago, and then recently into the Seaside Quad fins which had some keel vibes to them. I basically split apart the surface area of a keel fin to make the Seaside quad set. Keel fins have been influencing me for a long time. This new thruster set with FCS is my evolution of a keel fin into a thruster with a keel vibe. It feels kind of weird to say that because each of the three fins in the thruster set don’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). I’m really stoked on how these feel in The Glazer and my other boards. I’ve been riding these thruster fins with the Glazer throughout the R and D process, and over the past several months since the board was released.”
