Abstract The fin packer is "u" shaped length of plastic which wraps around the base of the fin which is then slotted into the fin box of the surfboard. The issue with fin slots is that the fin does not always fit snugly into the slot and even after the fin screw has been tightened to the maximum. The fin packer helps to resolve this issue. In the case of a wobbly fin the fin packer is wrapped around the base of the fin which is then inserted into the fin slot adding extra girth to the fin base to mitigate the fin wobble. Once the screw is tightened the fin wobble should be alleviated. In extreme cases more than one fin packer may be used by inserting one inside another so two or more fin packers are inserted to prevent the wobble. Page~ 1/1__________
