its got double fins on front and bottom.. probably going to take them off since most videos ive seen of good people they don't use them...

I dont know much about jobe so i couldnt tell you if its a p.o.s. But if you do decide to take those fins off make sure you stay on your edges cause your board will be real loose on the water.

dude riding with or without fins has nothing to do with skill level...it's all preference...and that board looks like a decent board...i'm not a big jobe fan but with the 6 degree angled fins and a 3 stage rocker it looks like a more advaced board...n if i were u i'd leave those fins in...the reason they are at an angle is so when u aren't carving it's easy to break them free for surface spins and when they are on edge they hold like mad...they're exactly what u'd want

ok keeping the fins on is a good idea, ill leave them on.
i was out again today.. i moved my bindings a lot father apart and angles them more like a catcher in baseball squats.. i did the practice 5 squats then set my bindings as such..

i musta tried 12 times but i couldnt get out of the water... of course ive always had a hard time getting up since im still a beginner but before at least i could get out 1/5 tries... Confused

funny thing is once im out of the water im decent... i just have problems getting up.

anyway,,,pratice practice practice ... only a matter of time
