Long story short, was having a fun session today when my board nose dived at the bottom of the wave and sprang back at me as I went under. Copped the board to the arm (massive welt) and a missing rear right white M-5 FCS fin from a quad setup. Thankfully didn't tear out the fix box too upon impact, so would like to know:

- Firstly, does anyone happen to have spare fins lying around that I might be able to get rid of as I don't want to have to go and buy another set if I don't have to.
- Secondly, if anyone happens to come across the given single fin that hopefully will wash up somewhere along the Brighton - Trigg stretch, please let me know. May be able to get the finder a little bottle of something as a thanks.

Any help is appreciated!

You can buy spare fins from FCS, see your board shop, or email FCS and buy on line.

Sadly, not very cost efficient, Cobra.

Concur with buster fin. Buying online usually involves shipping which is normally around half the price of the fin itself. Shall be ringing around board shops in the hope of some spares laying around, but not holding my breath.

Cheers Darth!

PM the Surf Eclipse bloke on ebay, I lost an AM2 centre & he sent me one for $17 including postage. Doesn't always have what you need in stock, but if you go an alternative set & wait it out he might have it later. I'd asked him the previous winter, but he didn't have anything then & I just tryed out a diff set in between.

Generally have loose fins you are after or can break up a set or get one in at Soul Boardstore. Can do a glassflex for $20.

Legend! So I could grab one for the bottom left plug (when looking at the bottom of the board)? You wouldn't also happen to stock replacement FCS DHD-2 fins, would you? Wrecked all but one from a thruster set recently.

Usually glass flex ones about and some PC. Getting harder to keep everyone happy with all the systems and styles nowadays.

Kind of gets to the point with the fancy ones where if you want to buy two singles it may cost about the same as getting a set at a good price. Don't have these in but can rustle them up if needed.
