Recommended Foil track boxes
« on: June 01, 2021, 05:40:50 PM »
I know I’ve seen this information somewhere but my search failed to find much of anything.  Simple question. What is the best , most durable 10.5” fin box that is commonly being used in foil boards?   Thanks in advance.

In my testing the Chinook boxes are stronger than say fcs.  The chinook feel more substantial as in heavier.  I can really tighten the bolts and they won't pull apart nor gouge.
Aloha, I welcome and appreciate all responses of positivity and good feeling.

Yes, Chinook boxes are the only choice in my opinion. I bought FCS boxes and some Chinese ones in a moment of stupidity, but I didn't use either. The FCS look usable but not ideal, the Chinese ones are clearly junk.
Foote 10'4X34", SIC 17.5 V1 hollow and an EPS one in Hood River. Foote 9'0" x 31", L41 8'8", 18' Speedboard, etc. etc.

FYI- I meant to say Chinook are stronger than Futures.
