Abstract
Provided herein are fin retention systems adapted to releaseably attach a fin to a waterboard, comprising an outer carrier, an inner carrier, a fin carrier, and an end cap, wherein the fin retention system is adapted for movement in a generally for-and-aft direction, side to side angular rotation directional motion, and/or planar angle rotation directional motion.
Claims20
A fin retention system adapted to releaseably attach a fin to a waterboard, comprising:
- a board housing comprising an elongated cavity and configured to attach to the waterboard;
- a fin housing comprising an elongated cavity configured to be releasably inserted within the elongated cavity of the board housing, the fin housing further comprising a plurality of inner grooves;
- and
- a fin carriage configured to releaseably attach and secure the base of the fin, and wherein the fin carriage further comprises an outer ridge;
- wherein the fin housing is secured to the board housing by an end cap, the positioning of the end cap enabling a for-and-aft movement of the fin housing within the board housing;
- and
- wherein the fin carriage is configured to slide into the cavity of the fin housing, the outer ridge of the fin carriage aligning with one of the plurality of inner groves, the sliding angle providing a cant in the fin attached to the waterboard.
A fin retention system adapted to releaseably attach a fin to a waterboard, comprising:
- a board housing comprising an elongated cavity and configured to attach to the waterboard;
- a fin carriage configured to releasably attach and secure the base of the fin, and further configured to be inserted within the elongated cavity of the board housing;
- and
- wherein the fin carriage is secured to the board housing by an end cap, the positioning of the end cap enabling a for-and-aft movement of the fin carriage within the board housing.
A fin retention system adapted to releaseably attach a fin to a waterboard, comprising a board housing, a fin housing, a fin carrier, and an end cap,
- wherein the fin retention system is adapted for movement in a generally for-and-aft direction, side to side angular rotation directional motion, and/or planar angle rotation directional motion.
A fin carriage adapted to configured to releaseably attach and secure the base of the fin, and wherein the fin carriage is configured to slide into a board housing attached to a waterboard.
