O'fish'l fins.

Postby derbyshire surfer » Sun Dec 13, 2009 9:47 pm

Hi all,

Could use some help. Gave my 6'5 an outing a couple of weeks ago and got a rinsing at Scarborough. Second time out on my shortboard, been riding my 'carpet' last 3 years plus.

My problem is, aside from panda eyes, badly bruised nose, twisted knee, etc...I snapped a fin and it went off to be with 'Huey' that day! Couldn't find it at low tide after a good brisk walk the length of the bay :cry:

The fin system on the board is by o'fish'l rather than fcs, now I realise why I 'got it cheap'! Can't find a dealer anywhere in the U.K. Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

Trev

(phill, you did right that day) lol!

Cheers gixer, thanks for the reply. I'll get some photos uploaded soon. My mate reckoned knock out the boxes and change to fcs...beyond my skills at the moment, probably put a hole through it!

yeah...could be the way to go...ive got an fcs fusion jig if you want me to make a template of it,just use a router to make the figure 8 hole then..ive got the install manual as well i could copy....much easier/nicer than the x2 plugs :D
