Most people with sets of 2 or 3 fins on one side usually have that set up for rails so they can do presses. Other than that it's preferance. Usually fins allow for good traction and somewhat helps to land stuff. One fin I guess just for directional riding. No fins makes the ride more fun, just sliding around and stuff, but sometimes makes it harder to land stuff.

The advantage of having one fin is you can ride with the fin on the rear for traction or have it up front for a finless feel. You can switch it up while riding by doing a shuv.

riding with one fins makes things Inconsistant..

Riding with 2 fins will make your riding better... (cleaner and popped)

Riding finless.... Is your choice, Just make sure your popping your tricks...

Whatever is your preference. I use two on my Byerly and in the off season the Hyperlite Shanks are good to use while robbing people.

Gregeo what a first post buddy! I always knew you were the real serial killer on the lake but I had no idea you used fins to kill your victims.
