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!!! _________________ Without water one cannot live.

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. _________________ Lars - - - Me German. Me not speach English very ok. |
