| your best bet for handles is o go somewhere where you can actually feel the grip in your hand and pick which grip you like best. personally i wouldnt buy fins i think its a bi of a rip off. what size fins are you riding and what board? would you consider riding finless? |

i will try finless but the fins i have now are larger than 2"
but when you ride w/o fins, is it hard to control? _________________ Wake Forest University |

| if you go from 2" to nothing you will be out of control. The large fins are helping you keep the board straight and tracking. Id find something around 1" they will give you some grip but still allow for much easier surface stuff. |

Actually, I went to Texas Ski Ranch today looking for a new rope and I found the one I wanted for ten dollars cheaper than buywake.com for some reason. I thought everything on the internet was usually cheaper... _________________ Support your local boardshop...

what a usefull post
My fins are 1.75 and I have no problem with surface tricks, but that's one of the main aspects I like about my board, it grips when I want it to and breaks loose when I want it to. What board are you riding?
For handles I like Straightline tractor grip. _________________ Some female cows have horns, but you wouldn't really know anything about that now would you? |
