Gene- I was reading a previous post about putting a leash on a Cooperfish longboard. Out of curiosity, why no leashes and finboxes on your boards? Feel free not to answer this question.
i heard from a reliable source that gene cooper had licensed his fins to be marketed in both box, and glass-on versions…i think the Fibre Glas Fin Co. is the licensee, if i remember correctly. perhaps gene will answer your post, and confirm this.

EZ plug makes a nice pain free CLEAR stick on. people that use those seem to like them. http://www.cooperfishsurfboards.com
