Does anyone have a big old Tuttle box fin they don't use anymore and would be willing to donate to the Southwest Junior Windsurf School?

We lost a fin to a beginner board and need to replace it. So it can be something worn down and damaged as long as it still fits into the box. Or even if the crosscuts in the fin are toast, I can replace them.

FYI, we are all volunteers at the SWJWS. No one is making any money. We rely on generosity to teach the next generation of windsurfers.

Thanks

Bigger is better. Wider is better. A massive delta fin would be ideal. Kids like shallow water.

Hi Gazman, We are looking to replace a lost drake 410 shallow so something similar would do the job. Cheers
