why do so many of you guys prefer finless? do you all ride at cable parks or what?

i have no problems riding with fins. in fact at times i almost prefer it.

ive never even tried it with fins, i filled my wholes in....i figured whats the point, you can learn to ride the board id asssume just as well without fins, i figure i can probably carve as hard now, and whats the other reason for riding with them besides tracking on the water?

seven11dmd, put fins on and carve around. i find it hard to believe that anyone could carve around on a wakeskate just as hard finless as they could with fins...

and right along with the same idea you had....why not have more tracking on the water since you can pop onto the wake instead of just sliding on. well hell, even WITH fins you can still slide on pretty easily.

With fins would almost be like a skateboard more because on skateboards your not sliding your turns and stuff your craving.

I vote "ride fins". I don't really think it makes that much difference. It just forces you to pop and stick your tricks instead of just flinging them around. I used to ride finless all the time but I started to feel like I was cheating. You can have half a shuv it done before the deck even leaves the water when you ride finless. Its like playing on an Indo board. The only reason I see to go without is at a park. But its all up to you. Liquid..if you ever do decide to actually GET A BOARD Shocked

, it is gonna come with fins. Then you can try both and MAKE UP YOUR OWN DAMN MIND.

the concave boards are awesome! i got mine from overtons.com. they just lowered their price down to 129.99 so i mean u would be gettin a better deal than i did and i was sooo happy to pay 140.00 so i would go for it if i was u.

i rode finless the first day then grinded down one fin and put it on the back. i used that for about a week to gain some control. now i am riding finless all the way.
