## Abstract

In a watersport board having a fin socket configured to receive a connector of a fin such that a blade of the fin is at a specified distance from a trailing end of the watersport board when the connector of the fin is mounted in the fin socket, the improvement may include an offset-adapted fin, the offset-adapted fin may include: a connector configured to be mounted in the fin socket of the watersport board; and a blade attached to the connector; wherein the blade is offset with respect to the connector in a longitudinal offset direction by an offset distance such that when the connector of the offset-adapted fin is mounted in the fin socket of the watersport board, the blade of the offset-adapted fin is distanced from the trailing end of the watersport board by a distance that is different from the specified distance by the offset distance.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A set of offset-adapted fins for a surfboard, the set comprising:
a plurality of offset-adapted fins, each offset-adapted fin of the plurality of offset-adapted fins comprising:
a connector configured to be mounted in a fin socket of the surfboard, and
a blade attached to the connector,
wherein the blade and the connector are formed integrally of one piece of material so that the blade is unmovably attached to the connector, and
wherein the blade is offset with respect to the connector in a longitudinal offset direction by an offset distance;
wherein the offset distance, the longitudinal offset direction or both of at least one offset-adapted fin of the plurality of offset-adapted fins is different from the offset distance, the longitudinal offset direction or both of at least one another offset-adapted fin of the plurality of offset-adapted fins;
wherein at least two offset-adapted fins of the plurality of offset-adapted fins have the same offset distance and different longitudinal offset directions.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The set of claim 1, wherein at least two offset-adapted fins of the plurality of offset-adapted fins have the same offset distance.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The set of claim 1, wherein at least two offset-adapted fins of the plurality of offset-adapted fins have the same longitudinal offset direction.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The set of claim 1, wherein at least two offset-adapted fins of the plurality of offset-adapted fins have the same offset distance and the same longitudinal offset direction.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The set of claim 1, wherein at least two offset-adapted fins of the plurality of offset-adapted fins have the same longitudinal offset direction and different offset distances.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A surfboard comprising the set of claim 1.
