Windsurfing: This is where you put your fin. There are now 5 different types of fin box available, and which one you end up with depends on the make of board you buy. The two most common types are the Power Box (Mistral and F2 boards) and the Trim Box (Fanatic and Bic boards). Both of these are bolt-through systems, and allow you to change fins quickly and easily, either with a screwdriver or a quick-release bolt with turning handle. Tiga have their own bolt-through 'Conic' box system, which also comes with a quick release bolt, and some racers still like to use the two-bolt Tuttle box for maximum strength. The Tuttle system is found on a few of the largest course racing /marginal wind racing production boards, where use of the very biggest fins is required, and thus the extra strength of two bolts is of benefit. However, the one-bolt systems are found in all other ranges. All these systems are far superior to the old un-aptly named 'Classic' system, although this is still found on some wave boards, which don't have a tail thick enough to take a full bolt-through box. The Classic finbox system is also used on most short boards as a mast track.
