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 ??

..they are a usual looking straight slot-in and screw fin . They have a notch at the front that locks into a ridge and then a notch at the back for the screw to go into ... so wish i had a photo to post :?

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.
