O'fish'l fins.

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!

hi fella..take it to a shaper and get them to foil you a matching fin....if you get stuck give me a shout and ill see what i can do...you'd have to send me the other fin so i could match it up...otherwise maybee change the fin system..photos please! :D

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
