The fins give the board more grip and speed it up a tad. It sounds to me like you need work on your progressive edge first and worry about the fins second. Until you get the progressive edge dialed in ride with fins, it will save some unwanted crashes and make it easier to progress on. Many people say going finless forces you to learn to edge, this is true but it sounds like you are not quite ready for that. Do some research on the progressive edge and go from there.
