Has anybody tried a smaller fin than stock on a phirana? Does removing either the sides or the center loosen it up? I am looking for suggestions to loosen it up to learn 3's. Is it possible to ride this board with no fins?

Removing the center trailing fin will make the board feel extremely "loose", with a comensurate loss of drive. Futures Ocean Air manufactures SB1's (the side fins) as small as 3.25" and it's possible to grind them down even smaller. <BR> <BR>Try removing the trailer first to see if that helps with the 3. I wonder what it would be like without fins <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> I'd guess surface 3's would be rather easy <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>
