If you ride with one fin which would be better? In the front or back?

i like riding finless but i ride with one fin for w2w, for landing switch and everything, so i ride with it in the front and for w2w 1's, i land with the fin.

its personal pref, of course

On top, sideways. Foam grip too. You do NOT want to get any of that nasty grip burn Exclamation

i'm pretty sure most people like them in the back. Just try both haha, it won't be too hard

its all preference and wat helped me was just taking three sets one day and trying the same tricks and see what i like and dislike about them, u can always switch it up but i dunno i found i needed at least one fin and for 90 shuvs they were easy without fins and with one fin but for everything else i find i didnt pop my shuvs high with no fins soo, it depends on the trick wither u want it front or back, for shuvs i like traction when i land so i dont slip out soo u would want to start the trick with it in the front, i ride two shank fins right now

Why does every one say 3 shuvs?

A shuv is when the board does a 180 while you stay stationary in the air, and a 3 shuv is when the board does a 360 instead of a 180.

Calskater23, Because its esier than saying 360 shuvit.

I also ride one fin. I put it on the front of the board. for wake to wake I just do a shuv and ride the board backwards with the fin at the back. for 3 shuvs or in your case 360 shuv its I have the fin at the front. I ride 1 shank fin on a vinyl. This is just personal prefrence and everyone and everyboard is different.

Sorry, I'm a newbie and need clarification. I've searched for too long and have a headache from reading so much un-rekated crap. Has wakeskating taken a bigspin from skating and just called it a 3-shuv? Yes, I think so. When I used to skate thats what they were called. I've never heard 3-shuv used in any skate mags or tv broadcasts.

savagegarrick, a 3 shuv is a 360 shuv it

a bigspin is a 360 shuv it with a body varial in the same direction
