Does anyone know where I might find some fins like those on the underground srf or cardboards wave.... You know... That look like fcs surf fins about 80mm but predrilled for two screws of a kiteboard, rather than fcs tabs for a surfboard???

Hmmm - sorry no but when you do find where to get them at a reasonable price - I interested also ! I did find a site but now cant find it now but they were asking $38 per fin ( perhaps the reason why I wasnt so keen to bookmark it....) .
I was after at least 2 but 4 would be good - $160?? Oh my current fons are just fine!
I'll watch your post with interest - mine drew a blank!

Check out Ocean Rodeo they use them on their Mako boards.

Kitepower (02 95296894) got me new surf fins for my Shinn wave. Hole spacing is the same as the Underground TT fins.

Awesome, I am also chasing some. Just checked Cardboards and they still have the 80mm ones for $35.

Unfortunately yes. Freight will account for $61. I was going to install Future fin boxes so I could use surf fins. The cost for the above is only $20 dearer than the Future option but with out the need to install the boxes. The next generation G-Board will be fitted with fin boxes right from the start.

they might be sending by courier service, which is usually much more expensive than using normal Postal service ..... bummer, cause I know the fins are made here in Thailand at the big Cobra/Pryde factory

$61 for freight.. wtf - your local store is free to walk in to, pick out what you want , get the right advice etc.... you blew it i reckon.

maybe consider supporting the local shops that support us in the first place

Chronic,
Too bad you did not comment on this topic a couple of days ago. For the record I live in Cairns and support my local. I (like others) could find no info out there apart from searching the web and posting in forums. If any ozzie kite shop had listed that they had or could get surf fins then I would have used them. What did they cost you so my wife knows why I slit my wrists?
