how do you grind down your fins? sandpaper? power sander? your teeth?

Fiberglass. I have one. It's a lot easier to actually LOOK on the site, I'm pretty sure it tells you that they come with fiberglass fins, 1.25 inches.

I got a .7 Awing on one side, and the old .7 belmont on the other(the old belmont is actually less tall, and longer) to give it an asym feel, feel free to dog my Hyperlite gate.............HERE Rolling Eyes

even though I ride without fins when you think about it riding without fins is kind of cheating since you don't have to work as much to spin your tricks.

freerider4, i dunno man i think thats kinda gay cuz then my rebuttel will be that riding with fins is cheating cuz u dont have to carve as hard to make sharp turns....there are pros and cons to both i think...personally i think i have learned better board control without fins, i can carve that thing hard....and if it were with fins i wouldnt have to as hard and therefore i think i would have less board control...if im wrong feel free to call me a dumbass

DUMBASS............... just kidding I agree each has it's own feel, but I made some special fins for my friends 4 trac so it still feels pretty finless, and the best part is he can still take advantage of gebious of the 4 trac, there basically cheap plastic fins cut down to .8 or .7 inch and with only about 4 inches length they feel pretty squirrlley, but they make for awesome nose slides, so now he's come over to the dark side with me on finned riding

danny ryan, some people say that riding without fins is cheap becuase its so much easier to slide around on the water surface.

but also if you dont have fins and you arent experienced you will slide out on accedent and lose control and fall(known from experience) so i dont relaly think its cheap
