KiteSurf Weed fins?
Hi y'all we're been experiencing some serious seaweed here in south Florida and got me thinking about weed fins. I was curious if anyone knew if there's such thing as weed fins for kite/surfboards? windsurf have these but can't find anything on weed surf fins except for the windsurf fins.

Re: KiteSurf Weed fins?
I actually have 2 sets of quads for sale, one futures and one FCS:

You'd have to pay shipping which might be quite a bit. It's a good price though, quality G10 fins.

Re: KiteSurf Weed fins?
Search split keel fins.
I just ordered a set of FCS II in these because the sargassum seems to be soooooo widespread. Winter storms delayed me receiving them in time for vacation, so it’ll be a few months before I can test them.
I hope this is not new normal, but these fins should help.

Re: KiteSurf Weed fins?
Buy a cheap set of fins and bring a saw to the beach. Keep cutting them down until they don't catch. Yeah I know there's no such thing as a cheap set of fins but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Re: KiteSurf Weed fins?
Must say I think it is VERY personal…
I hate finless riding, others like/love it.
Too small fins is a no go for me also, but too big even worse of course, on waveboards
Even in quite heavy seaweed I find the normal swept fins works great, but if a LOT of weed a 45 degree fin, not too small when swept, would work wonders indeed
Havent seen these either, but maybe some makes these?
