I just recieved my new/used 05 absolute platinum 141. I'm stoked!!!!!! It didn't come with center fins cause the owner prior didn't use them and couldn't find them yet. Anyways i have always used center fins and i believe that i would like them on this board also. What is a good size of fin for this board? Thanks Josh

Have you tried it yet? You may like it. Many people love the ride better without the fins.

I haven't tried it yet. So i shouldn't put the center fin in. How does the board ride compared to the center fin installed.

The Absolute Platniums come with two sets of center fins a .75 and a one inch. I would ride it first without the center fin, easyer to do surface tricks without center fins. It rides looser without the center fins, but put it on edge and you will lock in and charge the wake. With the center fin in it slows the board down and it is to grippy IMO.

I can sell you some .75 fins off my 05 plat. I broke the board, but I do reccomend riding it finless.

Thats why man havent even left the plastic wrapping they came in.
