Abstract

A water ski fin comprising a planar body and a plurality of chevrons. The planar body may have a top end, a convex leading edge, and a trailing edge. The mounting elements on the top end may mount the fin on a tail of a water ski. A bottom may connect the leading edge to the trailing edge. A plurality of chevrons may have alternating crests and troughs positioned in the trailing edge.

Abstract

A fin for a slalom water ski includes a planar body with a convex leading edge and a slot proximate such leading edge. The slot has an arcuate front or leading edge and a wavy rear edge defined by alternating crests and troughs or projections which allow the fin to be smaller without compromising its ability to support ski acceleration. The smaller size allows the ski to be turned more easily. A line of small holes extending in a row proximate the leading edge of the fin body can achieve the same result.
