FCS (fins)
The FCS (Fin Control System) brand began in the early 1990’s when Brian Witty and four like-minded surfers developed the concept of detachable surfboard fins. FCS stands for Fin Control System and this simple concept would revolutionise the way surfboards were manufactured and ridden forever. Removable fins offered a convenient solution for traveling with surfboards, and gave riders the opportunity to customise the performance of their board based on conditions, skill set and individual style. This customisation process also allowed some of the world’s best athletes to excel and win 117 World Surf League Championship Tour wins and 20 World Titles. The brand has come a long way over the last 30 years, although the key focus around product innovation and excellence remains unchanged. Design The original FCS system could be recognized by the two tabs on the fins which are designed to fit into a securing plug that attaches the fin to the board. The fin tabs are placed in sl ...

A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
