The FCS II Panda Keel is built for performance with high sweep and a deep profile.
Designed by Blake Peters, the Panda keel is a sleek, raked template with a narrow tip designed to allow a more progressive approach to surfing a variety of keel surfboard models with both narrow and wide tail designs. Recommended for the Rocket Fish and the Astro Zombie.
Keel templates with a high amount of sweep typically have a fairly straight trailing edge, yet in contrast, the Panda keel has an accentuated curve on the trailing edge which gives it the appearance of a stretched out contemporary shaped fin. The high sweep angle produces a burst of drive and acceleration from the take off, and the tapered tip maintains a feeling of freedom and release off the top.
This keel also sits quite deep in the water, which helps to stabilise the board and deliver a sense of flow when turning it higher speeds. Positioned in the M-L size category, this keel will deliver an overriding sense of smoothness and flow, allow you to turn sharply off the top, and confidently carve on rail with power.
