I ride mine with shanks and I love it. Every now and then I'll take 'em off just to switch it up.

idk, just like in case you wanna just screw around and slide around all you ahve to do is 180, otherwise you can rip it up like normal, it also helps me with tail and head for some boards, such as the impulse

skatewake41, some people like one fin because it helps there landings on shuvs. They take off on the side w/o the fin for a shuv and land on the side with the fin for the landing. Its more stability. You could use it for w2w too.

and then you just have to do another shove with the fin to get the fin back up front. so why not just run 2 fins.

skatewake41, thats why i dont ride one fin. Idk its more of a skateboard feel i guess. I ride no fins. I like riding with them sometimes though too

sometimes its too tight for pople, maybe u wanna run loose maybe you dont its more preference. and like conwest, was saying, if u like running no fins more but cant land a shuv, itll help cuz the fin will lock it in more

skatewake41, i dont like the idea either, but i gues u could gett super consistent if u keep having to shuv back around

Hyperl1te600, i ride finless right know cause my shanks for my byerly are like 1 hour away, and i am scared that if they catch on a rail it will hurt my board, will it.

yeah prob screw something up, are you on a legacy??? and try gettin a byerly lock, those are real nice for rails

i am on a 06 byerly right know, and i filled the holes with epoxy cause i hate water shooting in my face, and i don't like riding with it on at all. but i am getting and integ, so i can hit rails on it.
