you ride on reefs you get used to it,

No cracks around your fin box?

I had a similar thing happen to me (board stopped dead) a few years back but I hit a submerged railway sleeper.

Delta boards - there epoxy...right ???

Mainly Polyester resin but some epoxy where needed too.
From the Delta web site - “delta special” reinforcing of the finboxes to prevent box roll or bottom crack out. - Shame it didn't save my little toe

1st picture shows the garden could do with a bit of tlc, second picture shows you need to give the decking a coat of oil, for the rest looks an easy task

Garden - Season hasn't finished so garden hasn't been touch for almost 6 months.

Deck – I oil the deck every 6 months so it was done just before the season started and you are correct it is now due a recoat. Thanks for the reminder.

Very lucky there was no box breakage. Easy fix.
RIchswing, I had the same issue with my fins on my quad, they would not tighten any more. I ended up jamming some small pieces of zinc, (very malleable and won't rust), after the fin was placed back in the slot. Snug as a bug now. You can also use a drink can as they are aluminum. They pop off easy enough where as if they were glued in you will struggle.

The deck does not need any oiling. If water still beads on it, it is still good. A decent oil should give you two years of uv protection. However, the decking boards were put on upside down. Those grooves are cut to stop the cupping and are meant to be upside down. But it does make it more anti slip that way, but not very nice on your bare feet.

Carry on.
