Wavestorm 9in Flatwater SUP Fin // PE Stand up Paddleboard Fin for Longboards, Surfboards and Stand Up Paddleboards

Yes, you use a Phillips head screwdriver to install the fin's screw and metal plate. It connects to the board through a metal plate and a hole in the fin to keep everything in place.

This fin comes with the metal plate and screw shown in the picture, but you can also buy the metal plate and screw separately as a two-pack. It will fit in standard 9" longboard fin boxes as well as wavestorm sups.

Yes, all wavestorm sups made after 2012, including the 8' and 7' wavestorm Taquito boards, come with the same fin. When people have trouble fitting the fin into the taquito fin box, they assume it isn't working. However, there is a trick: start at the top of the fin box and gradually push and slide it down until you can fully insert it and secure it with the screw and metal plate.

Hello,br>Yes, this is the same fin that comes with all of the Wavestorm SUPs, including the 10'6, 9'6, and even the 8' SUPs.
