Does anyone know how I would convert my sweet Carbon fiber and e-glass board into a wake surf board? Where do I drill holes for fins/ what kind of fins etc?
Thanks for your time.

What kind of board is it? Must be a skim not to have any fins???

Here is my 57" Meyer skim that we use behind the boat.

It's an ocean skim board. Much like yours. Its a carbon fiber top and e-glass bottom Bill Baxter Pro Model (made by ZAP) http://www.zapskimboards.com/productCompBoard.cfm Does yours have fins on it? How does it handle?

Mine is great, the lightest and fastest board I have been on. Everyone seems to love it.

Yeah, I drilled a old blemont fin that is long and about 1" 1/2 high, placed so the rear of the fin is about 3 inches or so in front of the rear of the board, put some silicone in the hole before putting the screw in.
