Here is a newbie question guys!
Sorry about that but i never ride before and my 1st board still on its way //

I saw that some boards com with FINs and sum NOT! I´ve brought a 'LF Control 43"' That apparentlly comes with fins! My question is, does everyone uses it? I tought so but how they jump above BOXes without breaking it?

Confused

when it comes to fins, I like to swing both ways. I like both for different reasons.

i started with fins but after riding for like a month i took them off and never put them back on... it's way easier to do surface tricks and lip slides without the fins i find... try both and see what you like...

I alternate according to conditions or mood. If the lake is a little choppy I like to have fins, or if I feel like doin more W2W stuff.

I tried the one fin set up that alot of people have on their boards today while riding and I didnt dig it. It felt really weird
