Getting Screwed By Catalyst, Lost, FCS 2, and Corporate America

Well, shit. You assholes just don’t know how to make something that works. Why is it that you claim these fin plugs will work with FCS I or FCS II fins? When I went to put these FCS I fins in my board I couldn’t. Can you guess why? The fin plugs for FCS II fins don’t come with the little screws you need to put FCS I one fins in. Some “local” came into the shop and said, trust this guy. What you should probably do is, don’t trust those guys. He steered me in the direction of some big fins that nobody probably wants to buy. So I’m switching out my fins. I guess I need to go see if I can buy some screws from the hardware store because these companies have decided to decieve me and screw me out of 10 little stainless steel screws that should come with my surfboard.

Apparently they’re called socket screws, and your local hardware store will probably have a thruster set of stainless stell screws for about 5 bucks.
