There’s a wave park going in on the local river here. Looks like it will be something like an Eisbach wave that can be adjusted to suit kayaks, surfboards, etc. Much of the state of development of riverboards seems to be toward modified Simmons-style boards: blunt, wide, and often with quad or twin keels. Going to shape after I’ve seen and tried the wave. In the mean time, due primarily to the bash factor and until I get used it (quite a bit different than an ocean wave), I’m looking at these from CBC. Just looking at it, I’m thinking I’ll want to change the fin placement. Wondering what (epoxy?) adherent would work in terms of attaching the fins . Thinking of cutting off the existing attachment rods and gluing on the polyethelyne slick bottom. Tried searching but couldn’t find anything.
Big help: thanks all. The future fin option looks interesting.
Definitely different than ocean waves - no momentum, almost like the difference between riding a stationary bike versus riding on a road or trail. A palliative to mitigate the current remove from the ocean.
The fin kits for soft boards are installed via holes drilled right through the board. As ambrose suggested, just drill some new holes and plug the existing ones. Stuff some packing foam in the holes and seal them with silicone caulk or hot melt glue. Why complicate a very simple thing?
