With the FCS II 5-fin system, you can quickly tune the Pisces to match the day:
- Thruster (tri-fin): More control and a familiar feel—great for steeper pockets and tighter turns.
- Quad: Faster down the line with extra drive—ideal for runners, softer surf, and connecting sections.

FAQ: Lost Pisces Black Sheep Epoxy 5'6" (29.75L) FCS II
Are fins included with this board?
No—this board is listed as fins not included. It uses an FCS II Tri/Quad (5-fin) setup, so you’ll need FCS II fins.
What’s the advantage of epoxy construction?
Many surfers choose epoxy for its lively feel and durability. It can feel a bit more buoyant and “poppy” underfoot compared to traditional constructions, which pairs nicely with speed-focused boards like the Pisces.
Should I start with thruster or quad fins?
Start with a thruster if you want predictable control. Switch to a quad when you want maximum speed and down-the-line drive—especially in softer, running surf.
What waves is the Pisces best for?
The Pisces shines in small-to-medium surf when you want easy speed through flatter sections. With the right fins, it can still feel confident when the wave gets cleaner and more powerful.
Is 29.75L enough volume in a 5'6"?
For many surfers, 29.75L in a 5'6" offers a solid balance of float and responsiveness. The “right” volume depends on your weight, ability, and how much paddle help you like.
