Question 5 of 5:
What are the 3 protruding elements on this equipment held by the woman called?
A surfboard fin or skeg is a hydrofoil mounted at the tail of a surfboard or similar board to improve directional stability and control through foot-steering. Fins can provide lateral lift opposed to the water and stabilize the board's trajectory, allowing the surfer to control direction by varying their side-to-side weight distribution.
Fins are important because they are the device that gives you stability, control and direction on your surfboard. They help you maintain your speed and “cut” through the water, in a way that would be impossible on a finless board. In 1980, Simon Anderson introduced the three-fin "Thruster" design, which has since become standard.
The answer is- Fins
