I have just returned from Los Barrilles with a damaged fin box and I am not sure what to replace it with, it has the FCS fin box system and it seem to me to be a weak box system , I have looked at Red x(mini tuttle), future, FCS fusion(one peice box). What do you think, I would like to travel and not have to worry about my board boxes breaking.

In my experience I would have to say that tuttle fin boxes are the most abuse proof, where as FCS are designed to have the fins break . That said, it will be a fair amount of work to glass in a properly reinforced tuttle on a surf board. It also may not be wise if it's a polyester board, the fin won't break but the board will
