So, after the hassles with the install of the fin plugs on the ‘jazz’ I did some research for an ‘easier’ fin system to install. I came across two “systems” that look OK … the 4 way fin system and the probox fin system … both having the after glassing install, but due to the ‘cant’ inserts, meaning the plugs / boxes were installed “flat’ meaning less hassle with the install for a newbie like me … the 4 ways system offers more “adjustments” but means using their fins, while the probox can handle both FCS and Futures type fins … so, I decided to go with the probox system.
So, I contact the Australian Distributor, and spoke with lance at Hanalei Fin Systems … I was a bit anxious being a newbie, but Lance was great, really helpful and happy to deal with my newbie questions. I e-mailed him and order and dropped the $ into their account that night, he confirmed the order the next morning and posted it to me so I had it two days later. Stoked. Great service.
So, looking forward to installing these in the ‘forty one’ … stay tuned.
