FCN (fin control systems) are custom fins used in surfing, which are designed to help a surfer maneuver the waves while surfing. One might find FCS surboard fins at online stores like TheSurfboardWarehouse, SurfFCS or MagicSeaweed.
All different types of materials such as, plastic, wood, carbon fiber, or fiber glass. Depending on what its made of effects your Surfing.

A surfboard is a buoyant board made of either fiberglass, expoxy or foam material that you use in the ocean...Surfboards are what you use to catch waves which in turn creates into an addictive lifestyle many people live by which ends up making you a Surfer.Surfboards come in many different sizes and shapes....Some surfboards are called - Fishes,twin fins, single fins, quad setups, five fins, longboard, short boards, high performance, guns & tow boards, softboards...
Fins control the surfboard, its depth helps it hold in turns, a longer fin base will give you more speed, and a longer rake angle gives tighter turns, additional fins increase these attributes, tight turns especially require fins that are positioned close to the outer edges of the surfboard as a good portion of the bottom will be out of the water, that is why most single fin boards are for cruising or medium wave riding.
Yes. When ordering a surfboard online or at their store, when they ask you what fin box you want, tell them FCS. Be specific though like the old fcs fin box or the fcs 2 fin box etc.
Two fins are normally faster when you are traveling on sea but most likely Three fins give you more pressure to push which makes the surfboard to go faster.
If you dont know you probably shouldn't be surfing double overhead. But go to your local surf shop and ask them
there's not a gold surfboard but there is a silver surfboard which is in the sports catalog
