Default Fins or no Fins that is the question!

I have a jobe Ryan Wolf pro model which has a sweet 3 stage rocker and moulded in fins on bottom, i just realised i never taken the fins off before? should i take them off and will it help my riding? or should i just leave them on?

Whats everyones thoughts?

i have ridden finned and finless and find finless suits me better. The board always tracks better if you leave the fins in but cuting loose for slides and surface spins is a lot tougher. try both ways and see what suits you best but i would aim for becoming a finless rider eventually.

I look my fins off a few weeks ago - felt really slippery to start with and the first set was fairly painful! But now it feels completely natural and I can switch much better without panicking that I'm about to shred my face with another spectacular wipe out!

tempted to give the finless approach a go. having been from a board with a huge fin to one with tiny fins its a big difference already, but will give it a go
