riding finless will not hurt your board and, yes you can change out the center fin with an A-wing fin.

wont hurt your board at all.

although one of my buddies has 3 motives and (if i remeber right) the embedded fins arent that big. so i would just suggest replacing the plastic fins with some wings.

i have a motive and i ride it with the fins on but i think ill try finless next season because the fins that come with the board are huge

Used to own the original Belmont (same shape) and I rode it finless. Also rode the Motive as a slider board without fins. It works fine, as long as you know how to edge properly. And if you don't, riding finless will teach you!

If you decide you don't like the finless fins you might want to pick up some 1.0 or 1.25 fins. I used to also ride the Belmont, now Motive, and I switched to the smaller fins (1.0s) and really liked the ride.

i have a motive as well, but i upgraded, so i sold it... but anyways.... riding finless with this board..if you dont no how to edge.. it feels a bit like riding a block of butter. haha, from my own experience anyways.
