NEED HELP! TRYING TO LOCATE A FIN........
« on: February 18, 2010, 08:44:02 PM »
Hello, I have been trying to locate a naish fin like the on that David John uses on his 14' glide. I think it is the same model that comes on a 12' glide? It is a 10.5 " surf style fin. If anyone can help me locate one I would pay to get it here from where ever you are at. So if a shop, friend, or even yourself has one they are able to part with please let me know. I have contacted naish and they don't have any or know when they will. I have posted something in the classified section with no luck. Hopefully someone out there can help.Thanks

I'm surprised that it's so hard to get one of these fins.. It is the standard 10 1/2" fin.

It's the same fin that comes on the 12' Glide.. the 11'6".. and the 11'4".. It comes in white or wood.

I've heard of many people swapping them for different or smaller fins.

I would have thought all Naish dealers would have spares or could get them.

I thought it would be very easy to get one too. I want to try one on my 14' glide like I saw you did. I called the naish rep that sold me the board and she said they didn't have any or new when they would. I also called like 10 dealers in florida and even "surfing sports" in california. Every shop acted like I was crazy for thinking they had one extra they could sell. I'm kind of frustrated. I thought for sure someone from this site would have one or know where to get one.

Hey David John, do you have any extras at your local shop? Or any yourself? I'd pay to ship one over. Let me know, running out of ideas.
Thanks

I bought mine from Naish here in Oz but at the time they only had one.. I'll look into it for you.
