I have a tendency to lose the left large fin on my twinny so ended up with 4 rights spare. Any twin owners have a tendency to lose the right and want to swap a couple of spares left fins. Perth

Note that FCS (and Quobba) sell all their fins as replacement spare parts, so you can buy only left fins.

How do you lose them as a matter of interest? Do they fall out?

I had major issues with the fin boxes on my hipster twinv1- the port fin kept dropping out & the starboard one would loosen every session. I ended up glassing a set in!
The fin boxes are the only negative thing about these boards- they're otherwise amazing.

I had the same issue with my V1 twin, the grub screws seem to be set too deep in the box (more on one side than the other) and only just hold the bottom edge of the fin tabs. I ended up getting my local board repair guy to make me a set of glass fins with slight longer tabs so the screws had more to hold onto. My newer V2 twin doesn't seem to have any issues.

I surf reef, I have same problem on every surf board, or sup, I've owned. Nothing wrong with board. I'm goofy foot so assume I'm pushing the left side slightly deeper and it connects with rock either in wave or when paddling out.
