How to Install Side Fins on Your Inflatable Paddle Board

Depending on your paddle board, you’ll have the option to add side fins to your inflatable board.   

You'll need : 

     

 

Step 1

The side fins have a flat and a curved side. Identify the curved side and make sure it is facing the rails of your board. 

Step 2

Using the Allen key, loosen or remove the screws that are integrated into the fin box. 

Step 3

Insert the side fins making sure to place the dents in the dedicated area.  

Step 4

Once inserted, with the bottom part no longer visible, tighten the fins with the Allen key.  

Tip

Side fins enhance agility and surf performance, whether you’re catching a wave or on a river chasing rapids. However, they’re not recommended on flat water as they will only inhibit your ability to paddle in a straight line.
