$Greenlight Surf Supply Finbox Installation Kits | Futures Fins Jigs I review the Greenlight Surf Supply Finbox Install Kits, these kits takes the guess work out of installing finboxes and at a fraction the cost of the original install kits. The kit that I am testing is the Futures Fins Install Kit and a traditional Center Finbox Install Kit. Center finboxs are also called US style or bahne box.
