Does anyone know how I would convert my sweet Carbon fiber and e-glass board into a wake surf board? Where do I drill holes for fins/ what kind of fins etc? <BR> Thanks for your time.

What kind of board is it? Must be a skim not to have any fins??? <BR> <BR>Here is my 57" Meyer skim that we use behind the boat. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/483664.html?1185991619" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/483664.html?1185991619</a>

It's an ocean skim board. Much like yours. Its a carbon fiber top and e-glass bottom Bill Baxter Pro Model (made by ZAP) <a href="http://www.zapskimboards.com/productCompBoard.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.zapskimboards.com/productCompBoard.cfm</a> Does yours have fins on it? How does it handle?

Mine is great, the lightest and fastest board I have been on. Everyone seems to love it.

How does it ride? Does yours have fins??

Yeah, I drilled a old blemont fin that is long and about 1" 1/2 high, placed so the rear of the fin is about 3 inches or so in front of the rear of the board, put some silicone in the hole before putting the screw in.
