Hi, i know this doesnt belong here so excuse my newbness, thanks!

I am thinking of putting fins on a skim board to use for kitesurfing. I think that this is something wakeskaters have done before and I am looking for some tips.

Has any one done this? What size fins would you use?

Thanks

i drilled holes in mine and stuck an old carbon hyperlite in my wavezone. just get some clear silicon glue and put some down the holes as ur screwing it together to keep the core sealed. when u have it all installed put a line on silicon glue around the base and wet ur finger with spit and smooth the bead of glue into a nice transition. wetting ur finger keeps the glue from sticking too ur finger. spit works the best. good luck
