Fins = bad news on sliders. Plenty of guys slide fins, but they break off and need to be replaced. Substance, Harris, Premier, ERA, any board with good molded-in fins give you good edge hold to to load for air tricks, and will hold up reasonably well on sliders. Get some epoxy/bondo and plan to remake your molded-in fins every now and then - depending on how hard you slide. I ride a Substance on the cable - the molded fins break down every now and then, but they actually ride fine even if you don't fix it - where as a flat-bottomed board with a broken fin won't work so well... I've heard of people riding the Parks finless or with REALLY short fins, but don't know how well it actually does...
