you didnt notice it break off? did you ride it in with the fin off and not notice it? cause if you rode it in, turning would be out of the question, at least for that one side

The board probably won't surf as well and if it's not water tight then you need to get that sorted.
If you want i'd be able to sort it for you ie glass a new fin back on. I live in poole so pm if you need a hand.

No disrespect bluesnowcone2000 but please run your posts through MS Word or such like, as it's really hard to understand what you're asking.

The first day i went out on my mal' i snapped a fin .. (playing in the shallwos like a noob!) .. i took the other out and just kept the back fin in while i was waiting for replacements . It was ok in a straight line but and it lost some stability but as a noob it didnt make much difference for a few weeks .
My bro has a habit of removing all fins off of old boards and just glassing one big back-fin instead ..seems to work for him but i'd ask the good folks here for advice

The spelling and grammar made the post really hard to understand and I was higlighting the fact that MS word would help making the post more "legible".
