Nice setup. BC-lynx.
How did it hold up. It seems like you got a larger fin. Is that an NRS fin?
Also, what is the stripping that you have on the underside to protect the hull? Does it seem to hold on well?
Thanks.
Ahh...totally forgot about the forum. Sorry for the late reply. I was enjoying my lynx too much.
So yes, my fin is just some el-chepo amazon $25 removable fin. I finally went paddle boarding at a lake resort 2 weeks ago What a difference with the fin. It actually paddled like an actual SUP. So, adding a cheap removable fin really makes paddle boarding the lynx enjoyable. The over rotation is well mitigated. Since I was at a lake resort, I was constantly changing my lynx configuration from fishing to paddle boarding to sailing and people were asking me what kind of strange "vessel" I had? In the morning they see me paddle boarding. Later in the afternoon, they see me sailing and then in the evening its a fishing boat. And to top it off I have the TPP installed and they were wondering how I was moving around without paddling or using my my mirage drive. I felt like a hobie product specialist there. lol...So all in all, if you want a to make your lynx a reasonable paddle board, just add a removable fin. Just use marine shoe goop for the base and you're good to go. As for the black striping, it's car side molding strips for protection from amazon. it's been holding up well and it gives good protection to the bottom.
