Patent number: 10676165Abstract: An adjustable fin for use on a surfboard, the adjustable fin comprising: a base which comprises a mounting means for mounting the adjustable fin to a surfboard, and a member extending in a direction contrary to the mounting means. The adjustable fin further comprises a fin section comprising two outer fin surfaces which meet at a leading edge and a trailing edge; an underside surface comprising an opening to an internal cavity, the internal cavity configured to house the member and enable slidable movement of the member in a direction towards the leading edge or the trailing edge; and a locking means that is manipulate and which projects into the internal cavity, wherein the locking means can releasably couple to the member at one of two or more locking positions thereby preventing slidable movement of the member.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Flying Fin Systems Pty LtdInventor: Glenndin George Miller
