Hey guys, i know this MAY have been posted, but anyways...
I have a HL premier '05 136, today i was out on the lake, did a 180 when i wanted to do a surface 180 i faceplanted soooooo bad. And that made me think, should i take away the middle A wing fin???
What r the pro and cons of riding with fins?
and the pro and cons of riding finless??
Today i saw the biggest wake that my boat did, man it was cool, we had 7 big guys in the boat plus 250lbs of ballast.
Also i did a back roll and i i dont know how i hit that my noses ened up bleeding, that never happened b4....

Thanks guys!!

falling on a surface 180 has nothing to do with the fin. however the board is meant to be ridden finless. the middle fin doesnt really do much of anything imo.

ive taken some good diggers on the premier i know what you are talking about. also i think the molded fins are bigger than the center fin, its just the center fin is set back further so if you ride tail heavy it will give you a little extra grip.

a premier should not be ridden with the fins in the center

ive demoed the premier a few times (it is going 2 be my next board) and rode it finless everytime. i dont think there are any cons riding this board finless, its all good imo.

Might try pulling up your toes a little to help get the fins off the water...like when you do a butter slide.

marcuskg, before you decide on the premier try the absolute, marius and substance.

i used to ride a premier and i thought the center fin helped out a lot in rougher water and if it was calm i didn't notice it one way or the other
