Updated Fin Topic

If you ride with fins:

Where do you have them on the board?

What fins do you ride?

I'm trying to find some small fins like 1" or less. I rode the Hyperlite Shank fins last year and liked them. Are there any other fins out about that size or a little bigger?

1 in front and 1 in da back....cassette fins.....fins make you go bigger, and it's safer to ride with fins...trust me. Although most ride w/o and swear by it so to each his own. It's all about having a good time.

he probably means its easier to land tricks yet it doesnt get in the way on things where you wouldnt want fins.

I ride finless, but it's not like I'm sliding out on all my tricks. I laughed pretty good when someone told me that some kid at OWC was preaching about how my 3 flips aren't legit because I don't ride fins Laughing

Raven, Is a tootsie flip = 360 + a flip? Because I think his wakeskate had rubber boots that held his feet to it.
