I maybe wrong but I believe SB tightened up on finbox tolerences a couple of years back bringing the boxes closer to spec. If they were too wide before then some sanding may be required to fit newer boards.

Looking at the hire/demo kit at brog reveals that all the SB fins seem to fit all the boards so tolerences must be quite good.

Whenever I buy select fins they do require quite a bit of fitting but I would rather they be too tight than too loose.
All fins require some fitting, some more than others.

I would be miffed if I bought a board and the stock fin needed fitting though.
