FCS launches new Fusion pre-glass fin system and X2 plug

FCS Fusion goes in before the board is glassed. We developed the fusion system specifically for EPS boards. With the growing demand for epoxy surfboards we felt obligated to offer our customers a product that offered the performance advantages of FCS in a system that is installed before the board is laminated. e.g. pre glass

Our goal in designing this new Fusion system was to offer significant improvements and advantages over pre glass systems currently on the market.

Features:

1. Strength. Fusion is the strongest pre glass system on the market. This was achieved by incorporating a double parabolic outline. (read: unique peanut shape) which offers constant curves that prevent the straight line shearing that fiberglass is prone to. We also incorporated a high density foam foundation. This is a patented installation feature that creates a material gradient using a bonded high density foam underneath the system to dramatically increase the impact resistance and break strength while keeping the board light and lively.

2. Performance lateral pressure. Because the fins are held in place by two screws that push against the base of the fin, base flex is greatly reduced. The fins feel much more rigid at the base and allow the direct transfer of power from your feet into your turns.

3. A shorter footprint to allow more natural tail flex in the board giving it a livelier more responsive feel.

4. Reduced Weight. Fusion is the lightest pre glass fin system available.

5. Adjustability: We wanted to offer some forward adjustability for people who wanted to fine-tune their board’s performance by moving their fins.

6. Accuracy: We feel it is very important to see the shapers dots as they tell you at a glance that the fin system has been installed accurately. While all other box systems require removal of the shapers dots, fusion does not. We know that a quarter inch difference in fin placement can make a big difference on how your board performs. FCS gives you that quality assurance at glance without complicated measuring.

Accuracy includes cant angles as well. Because fusion has different cant angles built into the system it’s easier to install for the manufacturer because it matches the contour of the bottom of the board better. This allows for a better stronger installation with truer fin cant angles every time.

CSN has organized a charter flight from Barbados for $532.70 leaving on Thursday February 21 at 7:30 pm and arriving POS Trinidad at 8:35 pm. The return flight leaves POS Trinidad on Monday Feb 25 at 3:05 pm and will arrive at BGI Barbados at 4:05 pm. There is a fee for surfboards @ $35.00 BDS per stop, so round trip is $ 70.00 Bds. The DEADLINE for purchasing the ticket is Friday Feb 8th by 3 pm. So don’t delay.

Hi Everyone

I just wanted to update you on the new developments at Surfers Point and Zed's Surfing Adventures.

The new apartments have Queen size sleigh beds and they are very comfortable, the patios are wooden decks with Hammocks to relax. Its the perfect vacation spot for surfers or son to be surfers.
Our new updated website is www.barbadossurf.com New pics will be up this week.

We have a new Walden epoxy funboard and longboards in stock at both of our locations with the Mini Magic,Magic models doing very well and receiving good praise from surfers.

This year we are offering a discount on the Walden boards when people stay at Surfer's Point Guest House, unfortunately we can only offer this discount on the Walden boards and not the Surftech models. We have had to make a change to our pricing of the rentals of our Surftech Tufflite models to accommodate price increases, this price increase is effective from Feb 1st 2008
WALDEN - 20 US first hour/ 5 US each hour after that, 40 US per day, 160 US per week.
The Walden Price for clients staying at Surfer's Point Guest House will be 100 US per week
ALL SURFTECH MODELS - 25 US first hour/ 5 US each hour after that, 50 US per day, 200 US per week.

We have South Point models just arrived and the full range along with the NSP Models will arrive before April 2008.
We will still continue to have the Takayama and Bear models in Tufflite in stock.

Zed's Board House maintains a stock of 100 Surfboards to rent between both locations maintaining its status as having the largest selection of boards to rent in Barbados.
We have also BZ body boards for rent at the St Lawrence location.

Look out for our Summer camp 2008 starting in July and running through to end of August, surf with the best surfer's in Barbados and have the best equipment to use..
