single fin converter.

HI,

I've got a thruster that i'd like to try as a single fin.
IT has FCS fin boxes.

Is there a large single fin designed to fit the fcs boxes or maybe an adapter to fit a standard single fin too?

thanks.

I bought this one on ebay about 10 years ago but haven't seen it since, can't tell who is maker is either. Don't have it any more or I would send it to you...

Dam! Thanks anyway though.
I guess ill just buy a secon hand fin, and get to work with a file,

What sort of size should the fin be? Im 6ft and about 11 stone?

If you put large fins in FCS, be prepared for them to break. Good luck though!

the fin boxes or the fins?

[jaffa1949]

A big fin will break out the plugs and often the lugs a box and fin base set up is much stronger for big fins.

If you really want to try it as a single fin buy a size 8 center fin, special order from FCS, or a size 7 from any surf shop.

However, if you are trying to just get more glide do what I do when the surf is small and I happen to have my thruster by mistake, just take out the center fin and surf it as a twin. You'd be suprised what one less fin does to your ability to paddle

For relevant advice . . . give S-W the dimensions of both you and the 'usual suspect' surfboard . . . better help might be forthcoming.

Just thought about this, FCS makes an H3 set, sort of like keel fins but it comes with a center fin. That might work ok if you can get just the center.
