hey im somewat new to this so i got i think 1 inchers on my deck...
so... i looked at some guys poll and everyone rides finless. why?
havent tried finless on a skate but i have on a wkboard and its just hard to control the board.
so why do u think its better to ride finless
(or if you dont then tell us all why)
thanks

cuz its easyer to spin the board. there also is alot more play, which i like. i couldnt land 360 shuvits w/ fins on but finless i can.

I don't like finless, it is too loose for me.

I just like the freedom of finless riding, even for W2W stuff.
I've got so use to it that if I add fins now, I'd feel very restricted

i like finless on my board becuase it makes lip tricks and shuvuts easier but i dont like haveing no fins when i do w2w. do i dont know what to do cuz changing my board whenever i want to do something is annoying.

I love falls! Sometimes I laugh to much after one that I need to take a break. You just gotta appreciate the funny thide of sings...
I have a request. Could everyone post a compilation of their best wakeskate falls?
Actually Dave, maybe you would consider have a video/photo bloopers section...
