riding on the eden finless

Hey ladies.
I was wondering if any of you rode the 06 eden finless?
I'm debating whether to take them off or not. I can do w2w and some air and surface tricks comfortably now. Would this be a good idea or should i wait? thanks

You can always take them off and try it and then if you don't like it put them back on. I ride my Premier finless and I love it. Its much more of a loose feeling and it does take some getting used to. It took me a few days of riding before I actually got used to it and liked it. It will most likely feel a lot different at first and kinda swirly. But, try it out and see if you like it!

I just got the 06 eden and i took the fins off right away... those molded fins even feel a little to big... well i mean they do help but not for surface tricks.. somethng i personally have to get used too... but i dont think u need the detachable ones.

I took them off today and i didn't like having to try to get used to it so i put them back on, haha.

I think taking the fins off my board was the best thing I did... it took a while to get used to it, but then after 2 weeks I put them back on, and I hated it! I had to take them off.... I think it is much more fun having the board be a little slippery.... It also helps with your edging technique so that you dont rely on your fins. And I've also found I take much less hard falls without the fins because the board just slips sideways if I'm going to eat it and actually prevents me from faceplanting!

I ride finless, and don't intend to put my fins back on.
