Well, I tried it with the fins, but I couldn't get it to come around. Maybe I just wasn't comfortable enough on the board. So, I took the fins off, and did a side slide. It was weird without the fins... I had like no control, and I noticed my natural tendancy to have the board cocked a little to the left (which was hard to straighten). So, after the sideslide, i went back to the normal position, then I tried to open up and switch positions, which I assume would be a surface 180... faceplant. Felt like I did a belly flop on my face. So I put the fin back on, and tried not to do anything stupid. I didn't feel too good after the faceplant, and when I went to try to jump off the wake, I slammed harder into the water and had a headache for a while. So, I'm not gonna be trying that again for a while.
