Rainbow Fin Company Smart Screw for Fin Setups
Searches for Rainbow Fin Company keep landing on this small but essential piece, the Smart Screw, the hardware that actually secures a fin into its plug or box system.
What It Is
This is the Smart Screw from Rainbow Fin Company, sold on its own as replacement or spare hardware for fin setups that use this style of screw.
Who Needs This Screw
Anyone running a Rainbow fin, or a compatible screw-in fin system, wants a spare screw on hand. Screws are small and easy to lose during a fin swap on the beach or at home, and a stripped or missing screw can leave a fin loose or unusable mid session, so keeping an extra in your board bag or fin kit is standard practice for regular surfers.
Using and Caring for Fin Hardware
When installing a fin screw, hand tighten with the correct tool until snug rather than overtightening, since stripping the threads is the most common way a screw like this gets damaged. Rinse fin hardware with fresh water after sessions in salt water to help prevent corrosion, and check that the screw is still snug before paddling out, since a loose fin is a common source of lost fins.
