I would like to use my Levitator board as a light wind practice board this summer. Does anyone make a fin the could be mounted to the track?
For these occasions it would be a heck of a lot easier than mounting the foil.
Thanks!

you would need two fins if you didn't want to mount the foil mast, which may not be much quicker than installing the foil mast. I believe wyatt uses it to teach windsurfing with foil mast only.
But isn't it worth putting the big 99 wing on when you are messing around in light wind, because if you get a big enough puff you can foil?

Well, get a twinzer set for US tracks and you're good to go. I have an old starboard start for that kind of stuff, if you're interested in learning this kind of stuff a set of average 16cm twinzers will give you ample enough grip (or wanted lack thereof! I personally use a single 12cm fin.):

Just mount two identical normal windsurfing fins. Just as we also do it on our extreme wave-windsurfing boards!
The smaller ones on the side we call the thruster fins, but I would definitely always use two center fins for your purpose here on the Levitator.
So far nobody has mentioned that if you are shopping for fins for this use, make sure you get the A-box, or American box style. All thruster and twinzers are this type. Many wave and bump and jump fins are also of this type. Jimbob's photo above shows this clearly.

I run twins in my Naish Hover. 16 weedys only use in flat water.
My wife wants to try SUP. This could work for her in my Hover 122. Looks ugly though!

Not enough volume at 122 for her to learn sup on. Can pull off really great planning gybes with the little fins. Only used in really flat water at LG.

Hmm, you got me thinking. I could get a couple of cheap fins and it would give me something to do when the wind is crap... but then there is foiling.
