That's pretty common.. Best to be tight than loose.. Where abouts are you.

I'd use the palm of my hand and hit it back.. or lightly tap the tip of the fin back with a rubber mallet.

Yes.. my old board..

No.. didn't glue it..

I'm happy to do it for you if you're local.

Or if you were to pop into The Zu or RPS I'm sure they'd be happy to do it for you.

You don't want to damage the fin or board.. You need to be tapping near the fin tip.. not the base.

Nice to know my old board is getting used... i liked those deck-dots that i made for it..

DJ

Great..

DJ

Yeah foam, just like you said it just took a bit of wriggling to eventually get it out.

Mate, I'm really happy with the board. I haven't got it wet yet, but it looks and feels well crafted and previously well looked after too. I can't wait to get it out in the surf in a 1-2 foot day. I've been riding 9' mals all my life, this is my first transition board into SUP.
