I need a set of those "No screwdriver"fins for a 50/fifty board but after a search of the "Usual" sites, cant see em online. Gonna give Zu a call in the morning but I thought Kitepower might have em (not on the website though)

Am I gonna have to go through the distributor / Europe to get these?

Cheers in advance.

I've no idea about availability here, but there's two types available through the main Nobile site. From your question, I guess your board has the mounts and is therefore compatible.

Polyamide - nobilekiteboarding.com/;n’go-pa-gf33.html

or

G10 - nobilekiteboarding.com/;n’go-g10.html

A brief description of the Polyamide fins:

If you look at their site, you'll see they're "sold out"..

Hi I have nobile board and over time have ditch the quick release fins and use standard fins now.
The 2 pin which line up on the original fins line up in the same position as with most 2 screw fins which i have fitted ,as 2 screws
are heaps stronger than the one original quick release.
How often do most people remove there fins????

Also ment to mention if you want to convert your quick release fins to 2 screw mount i have also done this.
I ground off pins and drilled into orange plastic maybe 10mm deep where pins were and slightly smaller dia to stainless screws i used.
Then drilled pin wholes through board which are part way though and through orange deck plate.
Make board whole touch bigger and smear 5 min araldite around whole to make sure whole were screws will run though can't take any water
into board core
then countersink deck plate to take new screws.
screw new screws into fins and onto board.
screws seem to cut there thread into fins easy and makes for rock solid fins which look almost the same.
my board has been like this for 3 years now and has been worth to effort for fin strength .
