Future Style Fin Box Installation Kit
Future Style Fin Box Installation Kit
Greenlight developed this fool-proof futures fin box install kit with the DIY home surfboard builder in mind. No need for an expensive professional fin box install kit costing 2-3X more than this one when you're only making a few boards a year... plus it's quite probable you haven't used a trim router before and we know it's intimidating so we made this install method very safe to use and simple.
The install method is based around precise plunge routing with special depth collars for each step of the route. Watch the future style fin box install video below to see how easy we made installing fin boxes.
We even throw in a sheet of foam to practice routing multiple times before putting the router to your fresh shape!
