+ How do I install my FCS Fusion fins?
Using the fin key, partly loosen all the screws in the boxes or plugs.
The fin with both sides rounded is the center fin, side fins have a rounded side and a flat side. Rounded side goes to the rails, flat side to the stringer or center of the board.
For FCS Fusion fins (two tabs in a peanut shaped box), drop the heads of the fins straight into the plug.
Tighten the screws securely but don't over do it or you will strip the screw.
Gently wiggle each fin to make sure it doesn't move.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or email and we can walk you through the process.

+ How do I wax my new surfboard?
With surfboards, unlike snowboards, you wax the deck of the board, not the fin side. You should always start with a good base coat for the first time waxing. It is harder and lasts longer than Cold, Warm, or Tropical wax. We carry Sexwax Base Coat. Push down and rub in small circular patterns forming bumps. Cover the back 3/4 of the board, unless you want to noseride, then do the whole deck.
You'll need a top coat for stickiness. Here in Mexico, choose tropical wax if you're surfing mainland Mexico and cold wax for Baja. We have Tropical Sticky Bumps in the shop. This coat will be easier to apply because the wax is softer. You can apply this with long strokes, or circles like the basecoat whichever you prefer.
