Damaged fins?

David · Posted: Sep 02, 2007 10:10 am Post subject: Damaged fins?

Hi.

This is my first message in the forum. I´m from Spain and tomorrow I´m going to hit obstacles for first time (a funbox and a small kicker). My wakeskate is an Armada (LF). I always use it finless, but you know that this model has two small and "fixed" fins on the shape. Will they get damaged with the obstacles?

Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad English Embarassed

If you use it on a lot of obstacles the molded fins will wear down, but that takes about a season of serious obstacle use!

David, They should be fine, the only way I could see them being damaged is it you clipped the rail on the tip top of the molded fin. Chances of that are very slim, I wouldn't worry about it one bit. I agree with Slapdown, you're English is great.
