New board setup question

I just got a new board and am ready to give wakeboarding a try this spring. It's a liquid force trip 138. My question is about the fins. It has the 4 small fins on the outside perimeter and the 2 larger center fins in the middle. Would it be easier to start with the center fins on or off the board?

Thanks!

The center fins will give you more control over the board, but if you have them off it would feel looser.

before you learn the progressive edge, it may be easier with the center fins on. a friend of mine learned on a board with no fins and he said he just slipped around and couldn't turn very easy. then he got on my board with fins and said it was much easier to edge back and forth

Thanks. I will give it a try with them on first. Man, is spring here yet???

How did you like that 12-14" of snow in Va Beach? Sad

I picked up my first boat a few weeks ago and had to winterize it the next day! Rolling Eyes
