Kiteboard fins - where to buy single hole fins?
Posted: Sun Sep 22, 2013 9:31 am
Hi. I'm actually a surf kayaker in Victoria, and I need 4 fins for my kayak, and they're a fairly specific type that are hard to find - but apparently some kiteboards use the exact same type of fins.
They're single hole/stud fins (ie, only uses one screw) with 2 little knobs that hold it straight. The idea being that if the fin gets torqued, the little knobs break and the fin will swivel on the single stud, rather than the whole thing tearing a hole in the deck.
Where can I buy these fins? I've had absolutely no luck finding them in Victoria.
Here's an example:

I've tried contacting this website but no one responds... I'm not super eager sending money to a site that doesn't return e-mails or post a phone number...
Are there any kiteboarders who use a similar type of fin - and have been able to buy these fins locally? What about on the mainland?
