Does anybody like 1.3 in. fins on the Parks?

It seems like everyone here likes the .7 in. fins on the new Parks board. Are there any advantages to the 1.3 in. fins?

1.3 inch fins are too big for the parks board. while riding flat on the board, meaning not edging at all, all 4 fins are in the water, each pulling a different way because of the angle the fins are mounted on the board. riding with the smaller fins gives the board a super loose feeling while riding flat, yet when edging, only the fins that you need to grab sit in the water while the other fins are completely out of the water. with the 1.3 inch fins you have a game of tug of war goin on between all four fins the whole time you ride

I prefered it with the .7s but my buddy kept the 1.3 on. I thought they gripped way to much, In my opinion there is no need for so much traction on a wakeboard, but he likes it. its all personal opinion. Ride it first with the 1.3 then decide after.

Get 1.1"s they are a good in-between fin. If you are riding pure butta, the .7"s would be great, but in the chop they might be a little small.

I hated the 1.3s, but the 1.1s seem to be perfect...for me at least.

the 1.3s are a bit too grippy so i just ride it finless.

I ride with the 1.3s. but that is probably more to do with the fact that I don't want to spend another $80 on a different size fin.

so buy the epoxy fins tim. they are alot cheaper than the aluminum fins. or try sellin ur 1.3s to someone who doesnt have a parks board or someone who wants to ride the 1.3s on their parks. i dont ride with alumnum fins on my parks, jus the .7 epoxy ones.

I am happy with the way it rides so no problem here. when I want a loose ride I just slap on my byerly finless board.
