00:00There is nothing worse than paddling out for a morning session only to realize one of your
00:04fins is wobbling or you've stripped out a grub screw. If you've ever had a surf trip interrupted
00:09by broken plastic, you know keeping a few spares around is mandatory. Today, we're breaking down
00:15the top 5 surfboard fin plugs and screws so you can fix up your board on a budget without paying
00:19those insane surf shop markups. Starting off at number 1, we've got the 6-piece
00:25SUP fin insert and base pin holder set, coming in at an easy $4.40. The standout feature here is
00:32the
00:32precision fit, these inserts lock down your pin bases tight with zero rattle or unwanted play in
00:37the water. For less than 5 bucks, having 6 of these sitting in your board bag or glove box means
00:43you'll
00:43never get stuck watching waves from the beach just because a pin gave out. Next up is this complete
00:48surfing fin box is set with included screws for $5.30. What I really like about this one is the
00:55convenience of getting the plugs and the mounting hardware together in a single package. Backed by
01:01thousands of orders and a solid 4.6 rating, the polymer plastic handles UV rays and saltwater
01:06exposure without turning brittle, making it a reliable pick if you're doing a quick garage ding repair.
01:12If you just need replacement hardware, the UIC stainless steel grub screws are an absolute
01:17steel at $2.80. You get your choice of 9 or 12mm lengths, and the marine-grade stainless steel
01:23means you won't have to deal with rusted, stripped heads down the road. With a massive 4.9 rating,
01:29it's honestly worth grabbing a pack just to keep as emergency backups in your car.
01:34Sitting at number 4 is this 3-piece fin box set with built-in 0-degree and 5-degree cant
01:39angles for $7.02.
01:42That preset 5-degree cant is the real selling point, giving your side fins the proper angle
01:47of attack for speed and drive without you having to eyeball the cant during installation.
01:51It holds a perfect 5-star rating because the molds are clean, tough, and fit all standard bases
01:56effortlessly. Finally, we have the 6-piece G5F style fin plugs kit, and at just $2.50, the value here
02:04is
02:05ridiculous. This kit comes complete with the dual-tab style plugs, screws, and even a thin key
02:10wrench so you have everything ready to go straight out of the package. It sits at a great 4.8
02:16rating,
02:16making it the easiest, most affordable backup kit you can throw into your travel bag before your next
02:21surf trip. All the direct links to snag these deals are waiting for you right down in the description
