After reading some excellent posts on the subject, I think I might embark on a little project.

I have a few questions:

1) How do you estimate ideal fin length for a weedy? Is it the same as for a regular fin? If, for example, you are currently happy with a 40cm freeride fin, would you want to use a weed fin the same length?

2) How does one "un-box" a fin? Prior to re-boxing it, I mean?

3) Should I hack up a perfectly good G10 fin or is it better to stick to an old carbon fin -- keep in mind that I will be chopping a bit off and using fibreglass cloth & resin - unless there's another way.

4) Is there a good website which explains how to do it? I should've made that the first question, I know.....


Actually, I think that's all for now.

Thanks in advance!


PS I found this thread already, good stuff!
