Bent my mirage drive. Thought I had turbo fins but mast replacement was too long.

So do I have turbo fins?

That straight longer mast might be for the non-MD-180 turbo fins as it doesn't have the adjustment knob on the end of the mast. Pretty sure the older drives don't have the knob adjustment on the end.

The durability of the newer fins to take the stress of the mast being bent is not as good as the older fins due to the way the base of the fin is secured to the pin/split ring point. Those fins also have a framework inside of them from what I am told. Seems like when they get stressed backwards it cause the leading edge of the fin to separate along where it attaches to the main part of the fin. I have had a rod/mast poke all the way through before to the base of the fin.

Looking good, Jeff! Every Hobie I get, the first thing I do is ditch those toe straps. I find them annoying. But, to each their own.

It’s freaking huge but looking at the picture looks like someone stuffed a watermelon in a flip flop
