it rides fine without fins. I prefer it with them myself. Holds your positioning real well. Its probably easier and sometimes required to remove them at cable parks. The board rides high,so that is another reason I prefer it with fins ( less slippery)

It's the best of both worlds, and it helps alot to have a fin in the back for three shuvs... It helps wake to wake as well, and for me I can slide the lip wayyy easier, I don't know it works really well for me, I would suggest trying it. I came from riding finless to one fin and I am liking it.
