ABSTRACT:
A structure for mounting fins to the under side of a surfboard includes an elongated molded fin socket member which defines an interior rectangular slot configured to receive a rectangular base of a fin member. The fin socket further defines an upwardly extending cover recess coextensive with the slot. The fin socket is adhesively secured within a contoured recess within the surfboard foam core prior to the laminating operation. After the surfboard has been laminated with the fin socket in place such that the laminating materials overlap the fin socket, the upwardly extending portion of the fin socket is removed and ground flush to the laminated surface of the surfboard to expose the rectangular slot. Thereafter, the fin is adhesively secured within the slot.
