what about when the fin breaks? you will need to pay to remove the glassing too?

Back to the good old days - but not so good for travel - airplanes/buses/boats etc.

It's always puzzled me, how do people loose so many fins??

Ive never lost a fin. I suppose that's luck as I have hit reef a few times and luckily never lost one but I don't hit the reef every week.

it seems like some people lose fins every session. How is this possible??

And yes, Dave at Katana can sort most board related issues. Legend!!

I have never lost a fin, but I've broken a few. I've also upgraded the fins that come with the board to something much nicer.

It seems odd to pay $150 to permanently attach a set of very mediocre fins to a board and possibly have to pay more to repair them when they break.

I've never lost futures. Lost plenty of FCS.
