Hi
Does anyone know where I can get get some replacement fins for my north rocketfish.
A rock jumped out and took one off me!
Is there a compatible fin made by a surf company? or do I have to by genuine?
cheers

hso...
you can get the black plastic north fins from any north retailer (RPS or SHQ in melbourne) or as some have said good surf stores will have mini-tut to FCS converters, although they put mini tut boxes in kiteboards for a reason...

Hey A Bomber,

Whats the reason?

All I know is if you are using the flexible plastic type, DON'T take out the middle fin.
Did it one day and could not get back into shore to easily as I kept on sliding out - tried switch foot and vice versa until I was close enough to body drag in the middle of SCARBS swimming area.

Did I feel like a big CHOP.

Cheers
RICH

Ditto to that they are a great investment and totally change the ride for the better. $30 from balmoral boards in Narabeen.
