Surfboard Board according to claim 1, wherein the extent of said opening cavity in the transverse direction of the board, said transverse direction being transversely to the direction of travel and transversely to the surface plane of the fin, is less than the cross-section of the fin, and wherein the outer edges of the fin cross-section at a connection point to the board are designed such that the outer edges rest essentially completely against the underside of the board.3. Surfboard according to claim 1, wherein the fin is attached in said opening by an attachment means.4. Surfboard Board according to claim 3 1, wherein said opening has a longitudinal extent essentially in the longitudinal direction of the board, which is greater than the extent of the attachment means in the longitudinal direction, so that the attachment means and the fin can be moved in the longitudinal direction in said opening cavity when said attachment means has been loosened.5. Surfboard Board according to claim 3 1, wherein said attachment means is a screw which is provided with a screw head, and wherein said opening has a resting surface on which said screw head rests in order to hold said fin.6. Surfboard Board according to claim 1, wherein said box top part consists of has two opposite side walls which are arranged essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the surfboard board and which are connected to one another by two shorter cross walls.7. Surfboard Board according to claim 1, wherein said box bottom part has two longitudinal walls running essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the surfboard board and two short cross walls which connect the latter.8. Surfboard Board according to claim 1, wherein said fin has a journal which engages in said opening fin box.9. Surfboard Board according to claim 1, wherein said fin has a journal which engages in said opening cavity of said box bottom part of said fin box, wherein said journal has side walls, and is of essentially cuboid design, wherein said fin box has said cavity having side walls, and wherein said opening in said box bottom part is said cavity being designed in such a way that, in the assembled state of said fin, the side walls of said journal rest essentially against the side walls of said fin box cavity.10. Surfboard Board according to claim 1, wherein further comprising a seal is provided between the surface of provided between the fin, which faces and the underside of the surfboard, and the surfboard board.11. Surfboard Board according to claim 1, wherein an opening provided with said attachment means being a threaded attachment means, said fin having a threaded bore is provided in said fin therein for engagement of an said threaded attachment means provided with a threaded bore .12. Method for the manufacture of a surfboard board for surfing or windsurfing, said board having an essentially elongate, flat basic body which is capable of floating and, during use, rests with its underside on the water, and on whose upper side there is provided a standing surface for the feet of the a sports person using the board, said board having a fin box penetrating said basic body of said board, said fin box having a cavity therein for receiving a fin, at least one fin being attached to the underside, wherein an opening extending from the underside towards the upper side is provided in the basic body for receiving said fin, said fin being received in said cavity of said fin box, wherein firstly the basic body of the surfboard board consisting of a plastic upper shell, plastic lower shell and foam located between them is manufactured at least to a great extent, wherein cutouts are then made in said basic body, and wherein laminates are then introduced into said cutouts, which laminates, in the cured state, from a said fin box, and which method uses mouldings which are arranged in said cutouts with said laminates in such a way that, in the cured state, the laminates have the desired shape after removal of said mouldings.13. Method according to claim 12, wherein said mouldings consist of aluminum.14. Board according to claim 1, wherein said fin has a journal which engages in said cavity of said box bottom part of said fin box.15.
