One screw in the middle = Power Box
what type of gear do you have eg. slalom,Freestyle,Wave

i have to get it from flying objects otherwise i have to pay for it (i came 2nd the comp)
and they mostly do wave fins. would a wave fin go good on the board that i have

I just checked their web site and the fin section is in development.

Still not knowing what type of sailing you want to do with it but I'd stick with a good freeride fin, if you're more interested in slalom then go a slalom fin as the board will handle it. I'd just trust them and go with what they recommend or have brand wise.

I had an Enduro (about 100L) before it delaminated, I used it 99% in the ocean, great board. After I repaired it I got over 30 knots ocean a few times with the stock freeride fin so I think a good freeride fin and see what they have & recommend.

Cheers Uncle Bob.

Windy,
Have a look at this link for FO fins - they have some freeride ones and lots of weedies. www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=auswind&e=com

Agree with everyone - freeride fin would give you some great range.
