The Fin
(3 Fin Set) FCS Compatible. High rake and lots of area throughout, this template favors power surfers and performs well in solid sized conditions. All 3 fins are the same size and originate from the glass-on fins which True Ames used to produce for nearly all of the Channel Islands boards back in the 80's and early 90's. Needless to say, these fins are tried and true and are still one of our prized classic and timeless designs.

What people say
Hexcore fins are 25% lighter than normal solid fiberglass fins, without compromising performance. Hexcore fins have become the standard by which system fins are measured.
The CI template delivers dependable drive and effortless release.
Run the large Hexcore set on a shortboard in waves with real push when you want the CI template light and responsive underfoot. If you push hard and want stiffer flex under load, take the solid fiberglass version instead; lighter surfers or weaker waves call for the small set.
More About This Fin
The CI Tri Large Hexcore is a three-fin thruster set designed with the Channel Islands team, with the template developed by Chuck Ames over decades of foiling thruster sets for Channel Islands, and made by True Ames. The Hexcore construction uses a Resin Transfer Method build in which hexagonal coremat displaces glass and resin, making the fins roughly 25% lighter than solid fiberglass with a slightly softer flex. This is the large size in the range, with FCS-compatible bases, suited to shortboards in waves with down-the-line power.
