Recently picked up a new 2011 CWB Faction for cheap. Love the board, but I felt too planted. Decided to take the fins off, but due to the featureless bottom it felt to slick. Did some reading and found people were trading the 1" fins for 0.75" fins from the absolute. Bought a pair of 4, but the mounting holes don't line up?Anyone know where to get some smaller fins that will fit, or am I going to have to drill and tap these fins (they fit the rocker perfect).

I'd try sanding down the 1 inch fins before drilling into my board... Just my .02

I was thinking about drilling into the fins the match the bolt pattern

Well I ended up sending the absolute fins back and getting some cheaper Ronix Free Agent 0.8" fins. The length was the same as the factory fins but the holes were in different spots and the curve didn't match the rocker. After a couple hours drilling and heating to bend the fins I am happy with the outcome.
