Water in fin box.

Postby Stokesmcconnell » Tue Nov 17, 2020 8:54 pm

I jsut got this used board and every time I go out and surf when I come back I notice water dripping out of the fin box. I have taken the fins out and got the water out it doesn’t seem like it’s getting into the board just in the fin box. Not sure if this is normal or what I should do about it. Thank you.

If you have Futures fin boxes they tend to get water trapped between the fin base and the box. When i install or remove the fins it flings the water out boxes. Haven't noticed it as much when the fins arent touched but i bet it probably leaks a little. Might be that on yours too but you'll wanna inspect it closely to make sure there are no cracks that might be the source.
