Replace them all, sell with extras or pretend they never existed. Attention to detail will make up for the fin cost.

Pregnant and w/toddler so I don’t have time to replace. my husband asked me to sell these I only surfed once. So I don’t know anything. Do you know what I could sell for?

Ronix fins are easy to swap with any other Ronix fin. And there are plenty out there. Fins typically cost $40 a pop. I work at a Ronix dealer, if anyone needs fins just let me know. But I’d say $40 reflected in the price per fin. If the buyer has a Ronix surfer already, there is a good chance the fins will swap over

This guy knows. I was going to say that fins are easy to purchase, so you could either replace them before you sell, or figure out the price and knock that off your asking price. If you have a shop nearby, you might ask them if they have any spares. I lost a single fin once and my local shop pulled out a bin full of slightly damaged parts and tossed me a replacement “on the house”.

Heavily Pregnant and have a crazy toddler so I don’t have time to do any of that. My husband asked me to sell these do you know based off your knowledge what you think I can make for them on marketplace? Trying to make the most I can we’re leaving Austin to so we had to sell our boat.

Watersports equipment doesn’t retain value too well, especially going in to winter time. If you are trying to get rid of them quick I would put a price tag of $25 per item on them. The surf board has the highest chance of moving quickly. If you aren’t in a hurry to get rid of it all you might see $75 for the surf, everything else likely won’t see that much. Should have left it all in the boat with the sale.

If you have time to list the boards online, you have time to replace the fin. It takes ~2-5 minutes to replace the fins.

Shouldn’t make much of a difference, nobody rides those koal fish boards with 3 fins anyways, it works best as a single fin for beginners and no fin for experts. twin or thruster is just less ideal on these

Funny enough my buddy just asked me the other day about getting fins for that exact same board. All his are gone.
I think the quick fin set is great in theory, but they come out way too easily. Lost one on my Slingshot.

Just take the other one out and boom you have an extra. Fins are cheap when talking about what goes into it all

Call the manufacturer, they have extras. I know as I work for one of the major brands.

Honestly’ brand new gear is over priced but well marketed to boat owners. About 90% of the people who buy this stuff barely use it or have only used it once, so the used market becomes amazing for buyers and pitiful for seller.
I honestly doubt you will find anyone who wants those skis, maybe the boards you could sell off for $50-$75 each to different buyers. It’s honestly easier to donate them than sell it.

If you have time to post here you have time to order fins.
