How to Replace a FCS2 Finbox | Surfboard Repair @AndrewWorkshop

Uploaded September 2023 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

I recently repaired a FCS2 finbox tear our, due to a rock strike. This is just how I did it, there are other ways of doing it, this is just my way given the situation. It was lucky that I could salvage all the color too!
