How to mount your SUP fin to the US fin box

If you are not used to surfboards and fins, chances are you have trouble mounting the SUP fin for the first time. No problem, we will help you attach the fin the right way.
This guide is for fins using the "US Fin Boxes".

How to mount the SUP fin
Attatched to the fin you will find a bolt going though the front base. A small (app. 1x1cm) square nut is attached to the other end of the bolt.
1. Remove the small square nut (keep an eye on the bolt - you will need it later)
2. Place the square nut in the middle of the fin box (the slot on the bottom rear side of your SUP) and slide it forward with the bolt app. 5-10cm.
3. Now take your fin. In the opposite side of the bolt you will find a transverse split (peg). Place the fin with the split in the middle of the fin box. Hold the fin at an angle, and push the fin towards the rear.
4. Push the fin forwards again until the hole for the bolt aligns with the square nut. Lightly screw the bolt to the nut.
5. Before you tighten the bolt by hand you can push the fin forwards or backwards to the position of your choice. Place the fin towards the front to ad directional stability. Place the fin towards the rear to make it easier to turn.
