What do finless boards do or whatever? i.e. Why would you want to board with no fins?

Sorry I'm a Newb.

hc_zer0skater, look at the thread "Finless Premier"

Everyone was a noob at one time or another.

why dont you click on the "search" button at the top of the page and search for one of the millions of threads that deal with finless boards, removing your fins, or anything that you want to know.

IMHO, bolt on fins are more adaptable to various riding conditions, but moulded fins are the ultimate in board design. One of my boards is a LF Helix and I believe it is the best board for me. The landings are so soft, the motion is so forgiving, and the edge is so progressive it's unreal. I also think they are a must for sliders (despite what some articles say). Many of the best have argued this is the true destiny of board design. That being said, keep in mind that even "finless" boards have all added a bolt-on fin, and many "finned" boards have at least some moulding incorporated to the design or they would be a total sled when the fins were taken off for kickers and sliders. SO, in the end, the line has blurred, and you just don't see any models that totally eschew the bolt-in fin anymore.
