I do use fins. They dont have a whole lot of tracking but they do help when going at the wake.

No fins for the win.
Who cares.
Some like apples some like oranges, i like both.
I ride with a fin sometimes, i also ride a 41 sometimes. Most of the time i ride no fins and a 39.
What ever feels right.
Try both, figure things out for your self.
Don't let anyone tell you that fins makes you better.

and besides without fins its 10 times easier to do surface 1080s.
Shocked

FINS MAKE YOU BETTER!! Very Happy

Then again, surface 1080's are the stuff, so try both and see what feels better.

I ride finless because I can edge properly, so the traction is still pretty good. It also allows me to rotate the board easier, without popping as much first. Very Happy

colefooter, That is why people tell you to ride with fins.
POP YOUR TRICKS.
