        Most tige dealers will have them or any shop that sells surf boards. Online also as mentioned above, but beware as I bought the liquid force socks for my doomswell boards and they won't go over the larger fins. The bag is too tight to fit over them. Not sure on the ronix bag as listed above.

          I had a wakeboard bag from back in the day which is what I now use for my Soulcraft. http://www.evo.com/outlet/wakeboard-...-bag-2013.aspx . I'm sure they are a bit more than a sock but I had one already. It's a perfect fit and size for my 4"10" Honu. It still allows me to throw it on top of the bimini. I just use a hand clamp to hold the front handle and front bar of the bimini so it doesn't slide off. Then just use the same straps as usual at the back.

            Nick,

            Could your recommend a set of fins for the big guys from this site???.... I currently ride a older koal fish in a thruster fin set up and the current ronix technora thruster in a quad fin config... both 5'1". Looking for some upgraded outer fins for more drive.

              Best board socks in the business, designed for wakesurfers not just a surfboard sock. Diamond/stub nose versions and traditional nose.

                Same fins will work well.

                The only thing to keep in mind is none of these are designed for wakesurfing. What you want in wakesurfing is a wide based, upright fin with less rake. A pivot fin, because all wakesurfing turns are pivot-like and tight. Very small pocket/wave.

                  Directly from FCS look at these fins.

                  This is basically the Kelly Fin. I am an FCS dealer. I guess I should just add some two tab and FCSII templates that I like for wakesurfing to the online store.

                      Love my Js Pro, ill comment on the secret weapon when I get it this week...... Jeff is legit, for me I am loyal to him and only him. He took a board I had purchased from him that had a hole punched in the side from being up on the rack when tying two boats together, fixed it and told me that he wouldnt take my money... I dont know how much more product support you want then that. TOP NOTCH.

Yes, that was a shameless plug!
                        Ill talk to Jeff at Soul craft when I grab my new secret weapon, maybe he wants to send a board or two with me or everyone can just demo mine..........

                            My two cents worth on my Doomswell Drone: The fin combinations make it ride like three different boards. It's super light, fast, fun to ride! Downside, it's not very durable and you have to handle it like a new born baby. For $800 I would have put my money on a better constructed board. Now after getting my hands on some other boards, it is obvious there are far better materials than a foam core and a thin layer of glass.
                            If I'm not surfing, I'm making money to surf.

                                I have a Neo, buddy has a Nubstep, and another buddy has a Soulcraft JS Pro. Neo is more nimble then the Nubstep for me but the nubstep is better to get some air. The Soulcraft was eye opening for me. Its lighter and more responsive, I'm thinking of upgrading. Skims are fun too. I have a Lakewakes Flying Saucer 53". I'm too rough on my boards, all of them are fragile! Epoxy patches everywhere lol.
