Description

This i-Fin is intended for board models with a thruster (3) fin set up.

Our i-Fin is designed to bend and flex which is a great advantage for a board that can be rolled up, transported or packed away.

The i-Fin can bend out of shape without this affecting the performance of the board and it should straighten itself gradually. If, however, you would like to straighten your i-Fins, watch our video on how to do so here

Sticking on an i-Fin:

Sticking an i-Fin to your board is simple. We recommend using any PVC boat repair glue or Henkle (Loctite) 401 which can be purchased widely online. Here are the gluing instructions we recommend following:

1) Inflate your board to 15 psi.

2) Clean the area to be glued - Ideally with some acetone.

3) Warm the fin with a hairdryer to make it more pliable (or leave them in the sun on a warm day)

4) Apply a layer of glue to both surfaces.

5) Now push the surfaces together making sure no air is trapped. You really need to push down hard onto the piece you are gluing. Pushing from the centre out to the edge. Ideally you need to push hard enough to squeeze a small amount of glue out of the edge of the piece you are gluing so using a metal spoon protect your thumbs and apply pressure is a good idea.

6) Keep applying force to the area to make sure all areas are well stuck down. You will need to work hard on the area for about 5 mins.

7) Ideally place a heavy weight on the area for 8 hrs.

8) Leave to dry for 24 hours before using.

Safety Note: We advise using protective wear such as gloves and goggles.

New life for old board

The three fins are perfect replacements for my old ones on my Red SUP Ride. The old ones got a bit damaged when going over some rapids near Pont du Gard in France. I'm completely chuffed with the new fins as I use my Ride board the most (I also have the Sport) as it is great not just for myself, but for our whole family (me, my wife and our 2 little doggies). We have had hours of fun on this board so to have a new lease of life for it is wonderful.
