Hey, last weekend I was kinda bored so I decided to try riding finless. Let's just say I won't be riding with fins anytime soon. Riding without the fins just made the board a lot less loose, and I was still able to get the same air on my wake jumps as before, plus I learned blind 180s and got my hs grad 180s down so I can land them 6-8 feet out in the flats. I have no idea why, but riding with no fins is just a lot more fun, and I find it easier too. (Oh yea, I have a belmont, so Im not riding a flat bottom board finless)

Those side fins on the belmont help heaps, i rode my friends 140 without finsand it was sick. I ride my trip 33 without the cente fin sometimes, its the same deal. I wouldn't try riding finless when its choppy though, i had some of the biggest face plants. But on butter its awsome.

I never ride with fins.
