Nose press skate modification

Hi Guys - I ride a finless LF Mod Grind on a cable - I want to try some nose presses on a box - I was thinking about cutting a golf ball in half and filling with resin then bolting the two haves towards the front of the board - Am I thinking along the right lines? Any video, pics or comments would really help me - Paul

you can do this pretty well with ping pong balls and fibre glass resin, but they don't last very long, probably better off buying some actual nugs/lock in fins from someone like watermonsters

Do you know of someone who sells lock in fins in the UK? Thanks Paul

I did ping pong balls with resin back in 07 and they wore out so fast. I didnt even get a day out of them before i was down to the screw

Regular golf balls cut in half (with a band saw) work very well and last a good while also. Give it a try!
