Slingshot + Cable: Fins or No Fins?

At the cable park do you run your Slingshot board with or without the .6" fins?

How do the fins holdup on the kickers/sliders and/or how does the board load and pop without fins at all?

I have only ridden stiff boards with bottom features and build in fins at the cable. Looking forward to giving this SS a whip!

I have a Florida trip coming up. We are going to try to hit every cable in the state. Should be fun!

Fins on rails are like sex with her shirt on... you might have fun, but you're limiting the experience

^Couldnt have said it better. Lose the fins and ride it hard.

I saw a guy riding his SS with fins at the cable and broke the board in half from fin hole to fin hole, basically snapped the last 4 inches of the board off.

Ahh hahaha. Nice. Great analogy...Point made and clearly understood. Don't stick it in if you are wearing a fin!
