i figured out the issue.

1. i don't have enough boards for all of my fins.
2. i don't have those cool little sleeves to put my fins in before i put them in my trailer or box thingy.

Carry 15 fins in a 16"x10"x7" plastic storage container.
Problem is the 90cm and 70 cm foil masts and the 2 complete foils.

From having rather substation fin addiction issue im told, I never actually found anything that I was completely happy with (apart from the previously mentioned trailer) & what works for slalom fins doesn't for wave fins etc. Now I have mine mostly racked in order at home & grab the several I might use that day. Plus now with the price of fins if someone nicks off with your fin pod of 12 fins
How many fins/type/size you talking about gestie?

i have a lot, between windsurfers, sups and surfboards. i'm going to get them all out and take a group shot at some point.

some of the fins come in their own covers or pouches and some don't.
i've have a couple of fin wallets but they are not setup for windsurf fins or single fins and windsurfer fin pouches are not setup for surfboard or sup fins sets.

so i need some pouches to put the 2+1 and quad fin sets in before putting them into a container/box/trailer etc.
i'll probably just hand sew some pouches.

pretty sure i'm going to go to spotlight.

buy some denim, a needle and heavy thread, then swing by bunnings and get some clear plastic and come home and hand sew it together in a pouch with the clear plastic forming internal dividers.

Soft gun bags (say 36-47"/90-120cm) or gun socks for the foil masts. You can find gun socks for under $10 and padded gun bags for $30 or less. Gun bag can also hold a few fins. For complete foil, check Sailworks or your foil brand.

Might sound odd but a tennis racket bag ( single or double) cheap and room for a few fins, extensions etc

The P7 fin bag works for me:

The real fin addicts might need more than one ...
