ACCESSORIES
Original FCS II Fins
Bring your own or choose from four recommended FCS II thruster fin sets, which
differ in terms of design and performance.
CORE Straps
Although the Ripper comes out of the box strapless, it’s designed for our optional
CORE straps.
Center and Front Traction Pads
Nice to have when riding strapless.
Surf Leash 6'0''
The leash in CORE yellow can easily be recognized under water if necessary and
features TPU of extremely high quality which allowed a thin diameter to keep the
resistance as low as possible.
Single Boardbag
Protect your surfboard with a premium, heavy-duty CORE boardbag available in
many sizes for years to come.
