O’BRIEN FINS

LINE-LOCK ADJUSTABLE FIN:

The Line-Lock Adjustable Fin features a 3 point adjustment system to allow exact fin positioning in any direction. The Line-Lock Fin is easily adjusted by loosening the 3 set screws, positioning the blade in the desired position and then tightening the 3 set screws. O’Brien slaloms equipped with the Line-Lock fin are pre-set with the best overall fin position for that ski. Before adjusting the fin from the stock setting it is rec- ommended to mark that position on your fin so that it can be easily positioned back to stock. Please refer to the chart below for suggested fin adjustments to help maximize the performance of your ski. Remember small adjustments will significantly change how your ski performs.

A.R.C.

(Adjustable Radius Control) FIN: The A.R.C. Fin features a performance blade with elliptical slotted screw holes for customized horizontal adjustments. The A.R.C. Fin is easily adjusted by loosening the 6 phillips head screws on the top of the fin, position- ing the blade either further forward or back, and then re-tightening the 6 phillips head screws. Before changing from the stock setting it is recommended to mark that posi- tion on your fin so that it can be easily positioned back to stock.
