Sizing & Promotions

The truth is you’ll probably get wakeboarding size advice based on what board size the seller has in stock, not what is right for you. Don’t let that happen. We wrote an in-depth post here about finding the perfect wakeboard size whether you’re a beginner or pro.
If you’re not into reading and things like that we’ve built The Ultimate Wakeboard Enhancer. Input your height and weight and we’ll get you sized up.
Starting in 2012, the screw size is 28 millimeter in length M6 [metric] stainless steel screws. We’ve written extensively about the screws & bolts to use in this article.
We use 10-24 [standard thread] screws at .75″ length. Humanoid fins have 1.5″ spacing between 3 fin inserts. Our fins work with 1.5″ or 3″ fin spacing used on most wakeboards.

Wakesurfer
- It is strongly recommended you do not store wakesurfers in board racks. Be forewarned, if you do store wakesurfers in a boat board rack and drive through big waves, other boat waves, or across choppy water, it can cause your wakesurfer to bounce in the rack which may damage it.
- Do not use the wakesurfer to slide off of your boat swim platform into the water. Also, it is highly recommended you do not wakesurf onto the swim platform. Hitting the swim platform or any part of your boat will damage the board.
- Lay the wakesurfer traction side down in the bow, on the floor, or on the back sun deck of the boat to protect the traction from excessive sun and heat. This allows the wakesurfer and EVA foam traction to last longer. We recommend not riding in shoes on the EVA traction. Shoes will tear the traction.
- Do not walk on the top or bottom of your wakesurfer while on the boat or on the ground. Doing so will fracture the wakesurfer and may break the fins and cut your boat interior upholstery. Only stand on the board while using it on the water.
- Store your board in a cool dry place away from excessive heat and sun exposure. Do not store your wakesurfer on the boat, a hot shed, or in a hot boat house.
Installation
- Insert Fin – Align the front of the fin base with the spring and compress it firmly forward towards the nose of the board while rotating the fin downward into the fin box.
- Set Fin – Once the fin is firmly placed downward into the fin box let go of the fin to allow it to engage backward. SpringLockTM Technology will engage the fin base backward into the locking pins keeping the fin secure in the board.
- Lock Fin – Grab the base of the fin and pull back firmly toward the tail of the board to fully engage the fin into the locking pins. Lift the base of the fin and remove it from the fin box.
Removal
- Fin Release – Firmly slide the fin forward towards the nose of the board to disengage the fin from the locking pins.
- Quick Fin Removal – Once disengaged, rotate the tail of the fin upward out of the fin box and remove the fin from the board.
Fin Care and Handling
- Do not place your board fins facing down on boat surfaces. This may damage the leading edge of the fin and increase drag. The leading edge of the fins are also very sharp and can easily puncture or tear boat upholstery. Place board fins facing up when not in use.
- Do not hold your board so fins are resting on swim deck or swim platform. This can disengage the fins from their locking pins which may cause them to fall out immediately or during your next ride.
- Check the engagement of your fins prior to every use. Make sure the bases are pulled back towards the tail of the board firmly.
