ABSTRACT:
A fin protector for a windsurfing board or similar item includes two sides secured together to form a pocket or receiving space for the tip of a fin to be protected into which the tip of the fin is inserted. The fin is forced into the pocket far enough to flex the sides apart enough so that the sides press against the fin and hold the protector on the fin. One side preferably extends beyond the fin receiving opening so as to guide the bottom of the fin into the opening when the protector is placed on the fin.
