“FCS is arguably one of the most innovative companies in surfing history,” said WSL APAC General Manager Andrew Stark. “They revolutionised surf travel with the invention of their ‘removable fin system’ as well as sky-rocketing surfing performance with their continual research and development into templates, shapes and materials. These groundbreaking innovations coupled with the fact that every surfer, from first-timer to Mick Fanning has used an FCS product on their surfing journey which makes FCS a fantastic partner for the World Surf League at both Challenger Series and Championship Tour levels. WSL is happy to have FCS onboard in 2022.”  

FCS will activate onsite at both events as well as offering product testing for CS and CT athletes both free-surfing and in competition. FCS will also have a presence in event branding onsite and digitally across Bells Beach and Manly.  

“We’re excited to be on board for Bells and Manly, partnering with the WSL on two classic surf locations with a lot of history between them,” said FCS Global Marketing Director Alex Smith. “Since the inception of FCS, many of the world’s best surfers have ridden our system and fins to multiple event wins and world titles, and we look forward to showcasing our team and products out in the water.”
