Question
fin box
I have a Bic board from the 1980s that I'm hoping to use this summer. The fin broke in a move and I've lost it. In looking for a replacement online, I can't tell if any modern fins will fit the fin box on my board. I've attached a photo. The slot is about 1cm wide and 3cm deep. Thanks in advance for your help!
AnswerHey Eric,
You need to look for a 'US Box' type fin. They are also called A Box and Chinook. Your old fin was probably about 8-10" but 12-18" would work better. You can buy new at many online windsurfing stores or find used on eBay. The link below is an example of a US Box type fin. The 'type' is based on the part of the fin that goes into the board.

Hope this helps.
