yeh not sure mate? intersting thought.......

Are you referring to new or 2nd hand boards?
I believe that with new boards off "the rack" you only get a choice of standard M5's ect.

Personally, Im going glassed fins on my next weapon. I surfed a mates board the other day with glassed fins and noticed a significent drive, flex and release compared to fcs.

Time to get back to basics....

All my boards have FCS except for one and its my fave 6,5 round pin with fixed soar fins, mate that is a winner that board, I dunno if its the fins but like you said excellent drive down the line ect and great feel to the board..

Probably to do with, like kearnsy suggests, most new boards come with standard M5's or similiar. Most people do away with these straight up and upgrade to or already have $90-$150 priced fins. And I would suggest that fin life is substantially longer than board life hence the fact you see secondhandees sold minus the fins.

If the board is in a shop on the rack with no fins, all you need to do is ask coz quite often they will come with fins anyway, or the shop might have some second hand fins they could throw in for ya.
