... well I probably can, but think I'll break something.

2010 Slingshot Ben Wilson Pro Surfboard (aka green_mamba)... trying to get fins out for trip to South Africa, but sand has lodged them tight.

Any tricks to get em out?

Thx

You'll find it's prob dried salt thats keeping them in. Try lots of warm soapy water on them while giving them a wiggle. You could also try some wd40 or inox sprayed into the gaps... Leave for a while, wiggle and try again. Inox is very good a disolving/dispersing salt.

Best of luck.

One foot on the tail - one foot just in front of the fin... Wiggle from rail to rail - not from front to back (or you'll put the front of the fin through the board)...

Watch out for your nuts when it comes out...
