hello everyone, I am new to windsurfing and I recently bought a used tiga pro board that did not come with a fin.
I would like some help figuring out what type of fin I need and where I can get one.
please and thank you!

If its a bolt through fin box then its could be Tiga's Conic fin box system. What sort of fin box is it?

I have no idea what kind of fin box it is but I know their is no holes on the top of the board for a bolt to go through. if it helps I can take some pictures of it and post them here tomorrow since it is dark out right now.

I think it might be a us box but not to sure.

if your PRO looks like this one it is a US style box, though at the time it might also have been known as an A or E box.

I had one of these. Had a US box, so a US box fin will do the job. These are wonderful boards, but fragile and not very stable for learning on. It will also have a very specific mast base for the sliding track- did it come with one?

Great pickup, I wish I had come across one of these!

Yeah its a great looking board. I've once had a go on a Tiga Race. It was in light winds and the way cut through the water, it was great. Modern boards in sub planning conditions push the water out of the way while something like the board pictured, cut through the water. If I had the space I'd love to have an old style race board.

You can get one in any good surf shop. You should chose something like freeride shape, about 30cm. anyway in US Box, nothing is bigger than 33-34 cm because the box cannot handle more side load. On this big race board, the rails are taking part of the side load, that's why you can get a decent size of 30cm. The Select B&J have a very nice behavior on shorter board but plenty of shape/brand exist.
