    One of the lads managed to smash a fin off my board last weekend,just wondering where replacements can be got?

    Or if anyone has one that theyd sell lying around.

    Thanks.

    I think its the middle fin.

    About what?

    :D

    Any surf shop that sells bic surfboards if there decent people should replace the fin with something they have in stock as they can reorder replacement fins for the board on there shelf. If you get stuck i might have something here in tramore for you but will have to look.

    Is that seriously the price of BIC fins??:eek::eek::eek:
    Afraid I think you'd have to be a right tit to pay that much for such a piece of moulded plastic crap.

    If you must have one get a cheap one off ebay. Anything more then a fiver is plain robbery.

    expensive alright...
    another reason i would steer people away from bics as a beginner board...
    they are not compatible with fcs fins, if they did it would be cheap to replace....
    a bad idea but if your on a real budget get an old fin and resin it into the board...

    Shane_0 ,
    Did you get sorted with that centre fin for the Bic?
    Have the same issue myself, bigsurf are charging 15euro delivery:eek:

    €8.00 for a screw and slider for the fins?! Also €15 shipping?!! :eek: Getting screwed in more ways than one there! :D

    Lost the screw on my old board and quick search around the house luckily revealed one the same size. To the hardware store for anyone who loses one!

    I Broke a fin off a 7'9 6mnts ago in kerry

    €40 for a set of 3 (including screws and key)

    theese are NOT fcs fins, they are unique to bic boards.

    I'm only looking for the 1 though. €40 a bit dear for 3 fins, or is it..??

    Edit: after looking online, seems about right. bummer though, didn't realize they would be that much..

    I got the single fin, centre fin, for a 7' 3" Bic off a surfshop in sligo last weekend, 15euro. The pack was 40 euro but he kindly gave me the single.

    It's a new shop I think, you can see it from the traffic lights on the bypass, it's a blue shop. Nice guy.

    Thats really sound of the guy!
    As long as he meets a couple of guys who have broken their right and left fin next he just made €5 on a pack of fins. ;)
