A Kinetic Infinity Mount System (KIMS) comprises an outer housing, first and second outer gears, first and second inner gears, two pins, two screws, two mechanical collars, and a fin box. The KIMS allows different reusable and removable fins to be mounted onto a surfboard or other waterborne vessels. The KIMS provides dynamic, simultaneous adjustment and setting of a toe angle and a camber angle of the fin. The fin box includes two screw holes at each end and four screw holes along the side. Users choose from multiple settings of positive or negative toe angle or camber angle for each fin mounted into the surfboard. Camber and toe angles, in both positive or negative directions, can be adjusted simultaneously or separately to the user's preference. The KIMS allows different types of fins by FCS®, Futures® or similar, rectangular based fins to be mounted into the fin box and adjusted to desired configuration.
