FCS JW1 Julian Wilson Fins
The FCS JW1 Is HERE! After much anticipation FCS is pleased to announce the release of Julian Wilson’s new signature fin, the JW1. As fate would have it, the development of this fin coincided with the filming of Julian’s signature movie “Scratching the Surface”. The hectic travel itinerary meant Jules was able to test and refine his fin in a diverse range of waves. Once the template was locked down, Jules tried different foil options and constructions in order to achieve that ‘perfect flex’. In the end a traditional flat foil in Performance Glass construction prevailed. The final piece of the puzzle was to make the JW1 pop, and steered by Julian’s recommendations, FCS arrived at the unmistakable aesthetic of solid orange neon framed with a black border.
“I’m really excited about the upcoming release of my signature FCS JW1 fin. I’ve spent most of this year refining the fin to get it perfect. It’s a medium size performance fin with a slightly smaller center fin. It’s really fast and responsive, and it gives me the performance I need for my style of surfing.” - Julian Wilson
Jules rides this fin in everything from 1 foot to 4-6 foot. We asked him why surfers should ride his fin, his reply was; “This fin won’t hold you back, it’ll let you do everything you desire… if you can do it?”
The JW1 is a medium size fin geared towards fast, aggressive surfing. The side fin template lends elements of Kelly Slater’s K2.1 and the FCS G-5, delivering fast pivotal surfing in critical sections. A slightly smaller center fin template also triggers quick tail release. Julian Wilson's signature thruster set comes with smaller center fin and is ideal for performance shortboard and fish models.

"I own these fins thanks to The Surfboard Warehouse, so far after being tested in various conditions I wholeheartedly concur that these fins are THE BOMB! From chest to head high, hollow reef breaks, to mushy ankle to knee high beach breaks this fin has no glitches what so ever! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - YB
