I found this pretty interesting over the weekend...
I was at XTR talking about a new board (keel fin) I just picked up and Javier was checking out my fins. I had the NVS Album Fascination fins. We weighed the board and it was 6.2 lbs. I was a little surprised because that sounded a little heavy. Javi was surprised too.
We took the fins out and weighed them alone. They are 1lbs.
Board alone was 5.2lbs (obviously).
Another interesting note... water came out of the fin box when we took the fins out. Obviously, from the holes at the base of the futures fins, and obviously that water adds a small amount of weight too. Javier suggested stuffing the holes in the bottom with XTR foam to keep the water out.
