Ahh the Whistling fins I had a coupe of boards that did that, hilarious, in this day and age of factory crap fins I'm surprised it still exists. What type of fins were they????

Eclipse ?
Pirate Agenda on swaylocks commented that plastic fins draw moisture which makes them flexi ??.....put them in an oven ,heat them and see how much stiffer they are.
