Want to use my fish quad surfboard for light wind kiting in a weedy lake. Anybody know of any weed fins available for futures. I know they do one for a sup, but there to big.

i believe the weed will act much like a 'thick' water and actually increase your bouyancy, and thus improve your light wind planing ability. no real basis... i just reckon!

The weed I am talking about is long thin string like weed , not dense ocean weed.

... 'nub' or 'nubster' fins, sorta look like a twin tip fin but with the FCS base (or futures fin box too I think). Smaller area to normal fin but if you have enough of them it may work, never tried so dunno???? Hit google up!

cheers,

Robbie
