Alrighty, no shark talks here! I have a short board (6 x 18 or 19 (can't remember) x 2.25) that's just sitting around doing nothing. Was super cheap so don't mind giving it the chops.

I want to try converting it into a single fin (remove the centre plugs and insert a fin box). Honestly not too worried about the end result but will be stoked if it works. Anybody with tips/ tried this before? Will probably end up screwing up and leaving it to a shaper to pick up the pieces

I've got an 8' minimal thruster that I want to but a finbox in so I can ride it as a single fin, to make things easier I was thinking of leaving the fcs plugs in it a putting the finbox right in front fcs plug which would make the rear of the single fin 8" from the tail of the board, do you recon it will be to far forward ?
I was thinking I might be able to get away with it or should I go to the extra trouble of taking out the fcs plugs ?
