Side bites?

Postby actechy » Mon Dec 29, 2014 1:35 am

Hey folks,

Got a busted side bite on my 9'2, and they seem kinda hard to find with limited/no selection (futures box). Was thinking about just using the side pair from a thruster kit? Haven't measured to see if the fin box is even the same size, but was wondering if that would even work, or how to find proper side bites, maybe I'm not searching correctly...

Thanks all, any thoughts would be appreciated!

Depending on which country you are posting in Futures are available, let us know where and we can help! :lol: :lol:

Futures Fins had two depth. 3/4 inch and 1/2 inch. 1/2 inch is the rear center. I think they stopped making the quad rears in 1/2 inch. Your thruster sides will fit in the box where the side bites were. But then your center may be too big. You didn't say what size center you have.

Sorry, meant to say the quad rears aren't made in the 3/4 depth anymore
