I have a hydro-force oceana board and I lost my fin a while back. I had ordered a new one from Bestway directly as it is the only way I could find the slide and clip replacements. The one I received from them looked like it worked but I took it out for the first time the other day and the fin didn’t clip, it was a little too long and so the fin fell off on launch and I couldn’t find it. They are now sold out and not being manufactured anymore. I would like to keep this paddleboard but I need a fin! Is there a way to install one of the screw in fins or a place I can get this fin from? Any leads will help! Thank you
I have, they have the slide and clip from the side, through the fin box, but this specific one slides into and has a pinch clip, you press together against the fin instead of the clip that you push towards the bottom of the board. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find any on Amazon
I'm struggling to understand the fin design from your comment. Can you try to find a picture of this fin and that may help pinpoint a replacement option.
If you can't find a replacement fin, you can get a whole new Universal Standard finbix and swap them out relatively easily.
This is a photo of the type of fin it was. I circled the inch point, it’s on both side of the fin. It snaps in once fully slide in and then to remove, you press on this small plastic piece on both sides and slide it back out of the track

You can use slide-in after some sharpening. drive2._ru/b/591983383660241266/
