I ride a 135 vision and i learned heelside 360s without the fins and got them down good but i just put on all 4 fins to help me wit my flips which did but now my 360s r off, I cant get the handle pass anymore. Does having the fins on make any of a difference for spinning?

It might take a little bit off the aerodynamics but it really shouldn't. Is it easier to do flips with fins?

yea especially wit the backroll it gets u alot more speed and easier on the landings

Alright, thanks, but wouldn't it just give you more control rather than more speed?

Hi,
riding finless or with fins make a big difference on spinning...
Without fins you can begin to rotate ON the wake and feeling more confortable on spinning. But, when you put the fins back, if you do the same (beginning the spinning too early) you go away from the handle and you can't catch it.
If it's your problem, it's a matter of waiting : think of POP... wait...then SPIN (at the top of your jump)

practice your handle practiceing by doing surface 360s on a knee board. Just do them over and over so u have a nice fast smooth rotation that might bring your 360 back.
