board is squirly...

Is there anything I can do when riding to keep the board from breaking loose? I'm using all the fins that it came with. Does it have to do with the rocker type? On edge, the board feels great, but any other time, it felt like it wanted to break loose everytime.

Any input?

What kind of board is it? And how long have you been riding?

LF Trip 138. Been riding about a season or so. Pretty beginner but hope to get more lake time this summer.

You can buy bigger fins, i actually like the loose feel, but i guess it can be frustrating when you're just starting out.

This might sound dumb but go out and demo a wakeskate. I went out a few weeks ago with a skate and rode that for a bit. When i got back on my board, it felt rock solid.

@bookkilla, how much do you weight/how tall are you? Other than fins (more fin, longer or deeper = more surface area for a sturdy feel), another issue I can think of is if the board is too small for you. I don't know much about the LF Trip (I'm a newb wb'er) but if the board is narrow, that would affect the ride and how squirrely it is too.
