It uses an \u003cstrong\u003eFCS II\u003c\/strong\u003e Tri\/Quad (5-fin) setup, so you’ll need FCS II fins.\r\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhat waves is the Mini Driver best for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\r\n    It’s designed for performance surfing when the wave has enough shape to go top-to-bottom.
