Help - broken fins that are rare

Postby Mick4y » Sun Mar 18, 2018 5:45 pm

Hi all

I have a 7ft 6 Takeoff epoxy surfboard that has 3 broken fins (broken by accident by my brothers kids). Anyway the fin bases are rare and even a local surf shop has no idea where to get them.

Basically I have a board Andy I have no idea where to get these rare fins. I have attached a photo.

Any help would be great.

Michael

SadLy after a cruise around anything that might help, all I can say is some fins for the boards may be available on UK gumtree, they were a Chinese produced Epoxy brand, quality on early reports dubious, so you may be stuck.
Last reports of these were secondhand in 2015. Hmmm is the full answer :shock:

1) Can you take off the right fin and take a profile shot ?
2) Also if you can find a center fin fin from a normal longboard center box, try line them up and check the width.
