Smaller fins?

I guess they are called fins. A friend gave me the board I'm using to learn on. It's a Liquid Force SuperFly 44. I have no idea how old it is or if it's any good or not. It seems to be ok to me (although I must admit that I wouldn't know any better).

Anyway, the fins on it seem pretty large. The say "Redfin 2.3 Drive" on them. The board doesn't have any molded fins on it, just a few ridges. I've read a few places that say you should learn without fins to you learn the proper fundamentals. But since this board is pretty flat on the bottom, I was just going to be a smaller set of fins. Any suggestions or what to buy and where to buy it?

2.3'' fins i supose?

A little to big as i must say, remove them and wakeboard that way, then youll learn edge control, or get some 1'' fins, also fine Smile

I've tried it once with no fins. Thought I was one a bar of soap, lol. I dunno if it's cause the board has no fins molded into it or what but wow.

I'll start looking around for the 1"ers.

i assume it has 2 fins? (one front one rear) not 4 like a modern board?

if so youll need the larger fins. you might get away with a 1.5"

Yeah. It's just got two fins. There's a few small "ridges" molded into the board but no sort of molded fins.
