HELP " .. fins fins fins

Postby CheeZee » Fri May 13, 2005 10:32 am

Hi all ...

Really need some help here ...

last year i bought a Darcy super glide , a nice board for a confident beginner ! .. but have lost a fin and the crappy shop i brought it from doesnt supply 'that kind' of fin system . I've tried the web' for fin suppliers and contacting the maker but still havnt got anywhere ..its killing me :evil:

Guys can you let me know of any good fin suppliers or how or where to replace the fins with a different type ??

That is the 'old school fin box system' then.

Just been searchin about and think it could well be Future Systems Fin, they have a model called FJC1 (John Carper designed fins) which can be bought from Seabase Ltd.
