Does anyone know the size of the Molded in fins on the CWB Absolute for 2005? I can't seem to find the specs on them anywhere. All the sites just give info for the center fin.

wakeboardr2000, I ride it finless. It's all about preference. With the stock fins it will be very locked in.

wakeboardr2000, Yes never even tried riding it with center fins.

Yeah me too, never even put the fins on it. i think I'm going to try the .7's again because I don't think I'm getting enough drive on my toe edge. It's too bad too because I really like the way it rides otherwise.

I had the fins out on mine and I just can't cut hard enough toe side with them out...so after a year of riding with no center fins, back in they went. I can finally get some decent air toe side. I suck.

I ride my 03 with the 3/4" center fins. It's just my preference though. I like having a secure locked in feel when I cut. But the thing about my Absolute is that it releases nicely also, without too much effort.

Like Chavez said, it's all preference...
I ride my '03 finless and love it. Felt it was way too locked in with the stock fins. (I wouldn't mind trying it with some smaller fins if I had the chance though)

Forgot to mention that I also rode the 05 without fins and it cut fine and felt locked enough too. So, I suppose it might be a combo of which model you're riding and pref.....
