Hi Guys - Just got a new board - LF mod - I ride the cable park and boat - would it be normal to ride the park finless and put them back on for the boat? or just ride with out fins all the time - many thanks Paulo

Personal preference dude. i dont like to ride with fins at all but if you have a hard time landing switch on some tricks it might help for keep a fin on just the nose of your board. but try all options and see what works best for you

I ride no fins and love it. I tried fin in the from yesterday and it was not for me. Maybe for behind the boat but not for the ski.

I shaved the fins on my mod down to where there just over a half inch deep. About the size of hyperlite/byerly shank fins. It is still enough fin to help track into the wake but still nice and loose when I want!!!

whatever makes you ride better...

I started out with fins. After a year of riding or so I switched to finless and never looked back.
