Postby roxy_heart » Mon Apr 30, 2007 11:33 am

Hey sorry if someone has already asked about this but i couldnt find any topics that would help so i'm writing my own...
anyway...i just recently got my first board...6'8 nsp surf betty and i'm trying to attach my fins now but i have no idea how...i've never done it before so i need help...its probably stupid to say its like they don't fit because i suppose they have to be really tight...but if anyone knows how to do it then please help!!
It has 3 fins and what i think is 3 fin boxes...again i sound stupid but i don't know what it's called

HELP!! :please:

Thanks!! xXx

What kind of fix attachment? Actually I will assume that is is FCS becasue it is on a NSP. There should be 2 attachemtn points for each fin. Assuming again that it is a 3 fin setup, look at the fins, you will see that two of them have a flat side, and a more corved side, and one is Semetrical. Now take the FCS key(should get one with the board), if not, get an allen key set and find the appropriate sized wrench for the bolts in the board. Unscrew them, insert fins, screw bolts back on so tehy are snug, not insanley tight.

The website says that it comes "complete with a screwdriver" so I would simply assume that you put the fins in the box (all the way in) and then use the screwdriver and tighten up any screws that are there.

Make sure you have the right fins in the right place. The middle one will be double foiled, the sides will have the flat side on the inside.
