Ask them to put a zipper on that.. You could keep your car keys in there..

I recently told someone to take their side fins off their new 10'6" and reduce the chance of a fin cut by two thirds.

That looks nasty..

Everyone get out there and sand the sharp edges off your fins.

That sort of thing is the reason I have stayed away from the Noosa Points for the last couple of weeks. good waves but not worth the hassle and crowds. Sorry to hear about your injury. Hope you heal well and fast.

Oh Mac come on you know i don't mean you guys that come and visit us in LaLa land. You're an honorary human, unlike those horrid men in the longboard cave, errr I mean forum. Pardon me now while I go and sit in my wishing chair, take my medications and wish 20 kgs away and the returning of my mediocre ability to surf a shortboard..

By the replys and the direction of the cut I'm guessing it was someone elses fin???What happend?I got 4 stiches in my face a while back from the recoil of my leggy.I use a longboard leggy but still to short for a SUP I recon.I've been thinking of linking two 6' bigwave shortboard leggies together and trying that.

I've been using an 8ft Da kine and have never had any issues with mine. I found the longer leg ropes were the more they dragged you, especially on bigger days. I'm not into tow ins over the falls by my own board!!!. I've even used my son's 6 footer when necessary as it's mostly about potental victims behind you in IMHO. I don't think anything will prevent a fin chop if 'Huey' really wants a flesh sacrifice.
