I like one small fin, it helps tracking on ollies and wake to wake but doent hang up at all. I tried a 1.5" yesterday and I felt to sticky, I'd say 1" or smaller is a good wakeskating size

1 fin in the back, it helps to make sure you pop your tricks and gives you like a fakie feel on a skateboard. Definently give fins a chance.

seems wierd that almost all the pros ride one or two fins but it seems like most people dont ride any

i rode no fins for a while, but i ride an '04 catalyst with the channels so that helps. i just got some shank fins and ive rode with those a coulple times and they are nice. they help where i need it but dont get in the way cause they are so small...

88skisupreme, i think thats good. who cares what pro's do. it pisses me off when i see people riding with 1 fin. cause most of the time they only do it cause thats what they saw some "pro" doing.

anyway, no fins and im not pro Laughing

Hey, I like my one fin, don't be pissed.

really the only reason I'm riding one is that I only have one that's small enough. I'd like to try those Kampus or Integ 1" fins.

so what sort of results do should i expect from riding finless... my curiousity is high.. i've gotta try it.... what are the pros and cons exactly (besides the damn obvious)

I used to ride fins no matter what.... i thought i always would, but after this weekend riding with lemons on his new board... im 100% finless now.

I rode fineless no matter what before... now I use them because I really belive they help you edge for w2w, and give great hold when landing sketch on a shuv trick... I've also noticed how much more pop I get now on my shuvs and ollies with fins...
