Why Choose Our 5 Fin Sets
Run the centre fin for a thruster when the conditions are average and you want all-round drive and pivot. Pull it out, slot in the rears and you've got a quad for when the waves are fast and hollow and you need speed down the line. Takes a fin key and about two minutes.
It's also better value than buying a separate thruster set and quad set. And if you're travelling with boards, fitting one pack instead of two is a small thing that adds up fast when you're at the airport trying to convince someone your board bag is under the limit.
Make sure the pack matches your board's fin boxes. 5 fin sets are made for FCS II, Futures and FCS Original systems and they're not interchangeable. Brands like FCS II, Futures and Captain Fin Co all make solid all-round options worth checking out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our 5 Fin Sets
What is a 5 fin set?Β
A complete pack of five fins⦠two fronts, one centre and two rears. All designed to be ridden as either a thruster or a quad in any 5-fin box board.
What's the difference between a 3 fin and 5 fin surfboard?Β
A 3 fin board only has three fin boxes and can only run a thruster. A 5 fin board has five boxes, giving you the option to run a thruster, a quad, or on some boards, a 2+1 setup.
Do 5 fin sets work in any board?Β
Only in boards with a 5 fin box layout. The fin system also needs to match⦠FCS II fins won't fit Futures boxes and vice versa.
When should I ride a thruster vs quad with my 5 fin set?Β
Thruster for everyday all-round surf where you want drive, pivot and control. Quad for faster, hollower waves where speed down the line matters more than tight turns.
Is a 5 fin set worth it?Β
If you own a 5 fin board and surf in varying conditions, yes. It's cheaper than two separate sets and more versatile than either on its own.
What are the available delivery options?Β
We ship via Australia Post, typically within one business day. Free in-store pickup is available from our Gerringong surf shop.
