Hey, does anyone know where I am able to get a SINGLE Cabrinha 2.00 inch fin, I really don't want to have to get 4 and they all come in 4 packs and I only need one... lets just say someone ran over the tail end of my 4 HOUR OLD cabrinha custom which was by the boot of my car... I was standing next to it too thinking surely he wouldnt drive into me, but yeh even I had to move outof the way to avoid getting my foot crushed. Still feeling gutted, although it was half my fault even though the driver was in his own little world when we were going nuts at him and yelling at him to stop as he rolled towards our boards.

Taking it to get looked at for repair tommorow, I am absolutly amazed that the board took the strain, not even a fracture in the core from the look/sound/bend/feel of it, all that happened was the fin got crushed, the fins threads got ripped clean out and the fin pushed up into the deck breaking the surface on the other side, but not right through, just made a very neat slit into the board.

Got a 9m T2 though... love it.

Sh1T!!!! I heard that when I was saying goodbye to the folks I was testing the kayakite with, bring it into the shop, I will have a spare fin, and I'll probably be able to do the repair too.

Was an awesome session James pitty it ended so devistatingly. Bloody twat who ran over you board barely said sorry and just drove off.

I also had my first session on my new Cab Custom and they are bomb proof. Absolutly sic board to ride. Landed my first back rolls because of the massive pop this board gives and smooth landings.

good luck with the repair Jimmy, let us know how it goes.

Yeh, here are some pics.

The underside, you can see the fin pushed up into the body of the board, just punched a neat slit into the underside.



Then on the deck, some of the material has come through the board.



I've gotta say, I was very lucky considering what may have happened if the car went any further over the board.

I'd be 100% totally happy if I am able to come get a spare fin off you Steve, having to buy 4 new ones is a kick in the nuts after that.

**edit** lex your gunna have to teach me this backroll when its fixed.

No problem, it will be a G10 Cab fin, not a grey one, but it will do the job nicely, same shape as the grey one just the plain greenish G10 colour (could be painted).
I can fix that damage too, and a couple of well placed stickers later and you would not know it had ever been twatted by a twat. Just drop it off at the shop.

i Should add to this story that that board that got run over was actually sitting ontop of JiimmyZ other board which was sitting over mine,,,,,,so any further and all 3 boards would have been destroyed...

not our finest moment but it was a long day

lol.
Nice ad.

Anyway,
the first thing I'd do would be to scratch that Kitepower sticker off the tail.
Get rid of it.
For an integral repair, you need a nice clean surface to start with.

What are you talking about Slave, it says "OWER" which is refering to someone who owes . ie, the owner of the board is the ower which is why his board is adorned with said sticker. It is labeling him as the ower. He owes Steve a few bucks for a new fin. The dude in the car also owes and no doubt will get to pay in Karma credits.

Good winds,

lol I decided to leave all the stickers on because my mate lex has the exact same board and it would be a bit difficult to tell them apart.
