Single Fin Surfboards. There are a number of different fin configuration on a surfboard. One of the simplest is the single fin.

It is generally located in the centre of the board, above the stringer.

The distance from the edge of the single fin to the tail can be altered, which affects the speed, holding and turning curve of the surfboard.

Single fins were originally applied to longboards, but can be effective in many surfboard styles.

Fins allow easier control of the surfboard through turns and project water in the rear direction of the surfboard harnessing the force of the wave. the also limit the sliding ability
