The current FlightFins v2 and MiniFins are compatible with the Onewheel GT. To attach them, you will need to drill attachment points and screw them from the inside of the stock Future Motion Fender. The other option is the get the Flight system, however, the FlightFin Fender designed for the XR and the Pint will not work with the Onewheel GT so you need to get the new FlightFender for the board.
