Iv recently bought my fisrt board, a HAK 7'10. Its got FCS fins.

I was wondering, how often do you guys remove your fins? Am i likely to damage them or the screws if i take them off every time im transporting the board?

Cheers Guys and Gals

oh but do not titen them to tightly, i had a hak and tighten them to much and the resin cracked and i think it was slightly leaking water

Just curious...

How are you transporting them?
i.e. Why do you feel the need to take them off every time?

I only ever remove the fins if the board is going on a plane where i can't keep my beady eyes on it or if i'm doing major repair work.

Just in its bag, on the roof of my car.

I think maybe im just being a bit too cautious :? Its my first board, and i want sure how fragile the fins are.
