Sliding in the water?

Anyone else just slide standing into the water off the swim step. Like standing on the board and just sliding off the side of the swim step? I used to do it all the time but this weekend I did it and it tore up the molded fin on my 07 transcend.

I guess from now on I'll just sit down into the water instead. I'm just kinda bummed cuz I thought boards were tuffer than that. Oh well I guess thats why they invented fiberglass.

I usually jump off the swim platform. It's a lot more fun than sliding.

Well I don't have any fins and my platform is plastic and can't be hurt. I guess I was just stupid oh well not the first or last time.
