    Line cutters for stabilizers

    I do have those in front of my Wesmar fins. I think I would consider them more of a deflector than a line cutter. We have a fair amount of kelp on the west coast abd I can't really recall ever seeing anything stuck or wedged in between the hull and top of fin.

    Canada...Panga!

    A Panga is anything but "Dry Riding" and since there is no deadrise they will beat you to death. They are stout and absolutely meant to Beach in most surf conditions, that's the trade off.
