Can You Do Big Powerslides with Fins??

Lately I've been trying everything within my power to do big powerslides with fins on. I haven't rode without them but I've been thinking about it. This is my first year riding and the season's already almost over (I'm up north in Canada where we're having the coldest summer ever, literally) and I'm riding a Rail 137 '04 from O'brien. I know it's a cheap board and all, but I am a beginner so any input is greatly appreciated! Laughing

Hey what up I live in Sudbury Canada and I know what your talking about..I also know what your talking about cause I have the same board as you..I bought it a couple weeks ago with 2004 Obrien System bindings..when my baord came in I didnt have any fins..I was able to do huge powerslides very easily but I didnt like not havin fins because I couldnt cut har to the wake..now with my fins I can do backside powersleds and forward powerslides without any problem...

how big are your fins? if there too grippy and you find pwoerslides to be too hard then you can probably find some smaller ones around. or just try it finless but that might be a bit to slippery. experiment with it and try it out
