DIY Trackmount into surfboard
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 10:20 am
Hi all, I am trying to get into foilboarding on the cheap. I have an old epoxy 5 2" surfboard that i dont use that i was going to convert and then i have a friend who can sell me a Liquid Force Rocket Fish foil setup that has the 90mm 4 bolt system
I was thinking of using the attached , it is a high density PVC foam block that has 2 longboard fin tracks spaced 90mm apart. the tracks are glassed into the PVC block that is about 6 cm deep so i would just sand the deck side down quite a bit cuz the board is only about 5 cm.
Is this type of track system workable, is it a fiddle to get the foil on and off..... getting all those 4 bolts to line up each time not a big deal?
Would appreciate any advice for a newbie.
thanks
