I picked up a s/h one through buy'n'sell for a mate last week, with no fin. What fin could be used other than the recommended one? I've thrown in a very old 'wild winds' slotted fin from an old w/surfer.

Also, does anyone have any comments on them? We tried to get it on the water on the weekend, but didn't get a chance. At over 100kgs, I'm keen to have a go on it on flatwater & DWing, to see the diff between that & my Nalu 11'6" - but would I be too heavy for it?

The board is mainly for mate's wife who wants to paddle flatwater for a bit of fun & fitness.

Don't know about the fin.

The cloth showing through the resin is due to heat.

To seal it up I'd probably take an easier cheaper option and rub it back and clear spray or pro-tec rather than a coat of epoxy.

The clear paint will hide some of the exposed weave but it will depend on how damaged it is.

Thanks guys for you replies, I'll pass that info on to the mate. I thought there might be someone here that owns/owned one and could give some advice on the board also. It looks fast & apart from some cosmetic wear it's in good shape. Never tried paddling on a displacement hull board, so should be fun.
