Hi all,

I am a seasoned sailor, and I am stuck in my ways as far as equipment goes, and still prefer my custom 1980's board over the new boards available today. The problem that I have is that I have just snapped the last fin that I have which was designed for my board. The fin is an old design with a slot in it intended to reduce cavitation.


I done some research and cannot find it for sale anywhere online.
Does anyone have knowledge of where I can get this fin, or have one lying around in their shed somewhere?

Thanks,

Roy

I think you need to spend a bit longer on new stuff to appreciate it.

IIRC the only slot fin still made is a wave fin by True Ames. It is a modern shape though and for specific use, and has a small 60mm ish slot.
That thing in the pic has no thought whatsoever to flex or twist and does not do anything well.

In this modern and high technology world which is also called the ???information era???. There is no doubt that people now want to own the life that is safe and free and do the thing that they like and want to do. And usually such kind of life is not so easy to own for some people and as they are monitored by some device. If so the jammer types can be your good assistant.

in the pic/image it looks like US slot box fin
there should be plenty about , non ??

Just to be clear the board is the only part of the equipment that I am still holding onto- I am using the latest Neil Pryde sails, masts etc. The board is a custom designed carbon fibre wave slalom and prefer my board because it is faster and more versatile than many of the modern boards. Its not a commodore 64 computer vintage, rather a vintage porsche body with the latest modern Porsche engine! I'll look into some of the fins mentioned above, thanks.

If that is the case then use a modern fin - will only make the board better!
