The configuration and positioning of the fins and bindings vary according to rider preference and are adjusted for a variety of reasons. A wakeboarder will change the type of fins used for different types of tricks.

Many newer board models contain small moulded fins on the board, allowing the rider to use smaller centre fins and also to create less drag.
