I was told that in order to keep the water out of the foam in the board you should seal up the holes if not using fins. I'm new to this sport and am not ready to permanently sacrifice the fins so I'm looking to buy some .7 fins for my Liquid Force Stance board. I cannot find fins anywhere. Anyone know of a website that carries them? Or how do you get smaller fins?

Keaton44_4, you don't need to seal the holes. Just ride finless.

I found some at Overtons as well; most of the online sites dont have them, perhaps because its end of season. I would rather try finless but the guy at boarders paradise said that the laminate layers may start pulling apart if you dont seal the holes. You guys riding finless have not seen this happen?

not at the fin holes. I ride all my boards finless, and the holes are the last place I would think to worry about, I haven't seen any problems with it in since I got my first board like 7 or 8 years ago
