When you're ready to get fins for your boards, best value are from fins4sale.com ( http://fins4sale.com/index.php?cPath=2& ... bb970bcaee ) but get the 2-hole $10 ones, the $5 injection-molded plastic ones I'm told are poor. The $10 ones aren't bad, I got some of the 1.25" and 1.75" and the shapes are decent, and the material's solid. Only downside is the gloss finish, as I'm told a gloss finish is the worst for keeping water flow attached to the fin. But nothing a quick high-grit wet-sanding won't fix.
