I have been using a paddle board for about 5 years. I have no problems making it go the direction I want to go. I recently bought four used boards and it is almost impossible to make them go straight. You paddle once to the right and it takes a hard cut to the right and then it takes forever to make it go back left. The fins seem to be okay there's no big Nicks, dents or scratches. Does anybody have an answer for me.

Is the finbox straight?

Don't laugh, you would be amazed how badly the fin boxes are placed on generic chinese boards. Placing boxes is seen as low-level job and is often given to the less gifted workers, they often are not properly aligned.
