STEP 3: With the 
fin in the position 
shown here insert 
the metal tab into 
the fin box slot. 
Keeping the fin in 
the tilted position 
slide it to the back 
of the fin box.  
Press the fin down 
firmly into the fin 
box until it is flush 
with the fin box. 

 

 

 

STEP 4: Align the plate in the fin box with the small hole in the front of the fin. Insert the thumb 
screw and tighten down, securing the screw to the plate.   

 

For Permanent Fins: 

Some boards come with fins permanently installed.  These fins are made of a highly durable 
material called TPU.  This material is flexible allowing the fins to bend and not break.  It is 
normal for the fins to bend during shipping and storage. If fins are bent you can straighten them 
by bending back into place with your hand or using your foot to apply more pressure.   

 

NOTE: Slightly bent fins will NOT affect performance.
