Hi guys,
I have a Cabrinha Vari board, which comes originally with 6 fins. I would like to remove the "training" fins and fill the left over holes.
Can anyone give me some advice on what would be the best way to do this for a permanent fill or a temporary fill?

Thanks

just use the clear stuff you use to seal gaps - like selleys no more gaps or something similar.

i ride finless and just cover the holes either with sticky tape or the stickers that sometimes come with with kites/sneakers etc. this might be a better option if you think you might sell the board someday.

Now some technical stuff
Kneadit - Epoxy.
You can find it at any BBC hardware.
It is something I always have with me in "my scouts box".
This stuff is magic, you just cut with a knife a slice of the "tube" (which have both the resin and the hardener), you mix them for 60 sec by "kneading" tem, than fill holes and deep scratces just by pushing the thick paste into the cleaned voids. It sets in 5 - 10 minutes, than you can sand the extra ( bee carefull not to leave too much extra) and off you go back on the water

i just stick some surf wax in the holes if im going to ride finless for the day. takes seconds. just rub the wax acros the hole back and forward till the holes full. it stays in there for as long as you want it there, then poke a screw through and it pops out easily
