do wakeskates need fins?

[faceplants]

Jonathan at Nottingham Cable shook his head at me for having fins on my skate! Apparently it's like wearing socks with sandals! (It hasn't made me take them off though.)

dude you can prob tell jonathen at the cable that he knows nothing about wakeskating and you will be right, there are enough "fashion police" in wakeboarding without applying it to skating too. in general people that can't ride with fins say they are bad and people that ride with them say you aren't legit without them. wakeskaters don't care either way so long as you pop your sh*t.

cheers guys that clears it up a bit!

nm,

Let's put this into context. The comments made by Jonathan were made in jest. The last thing I want to get into is the character assasination of someone who's actually a top bloke and was just having a laugh.

Sorry if I made it sound otherwise!

hey apologies to Jonathan, was having more a general pop at people trying to tell you what is right and wrong. worded too strongly as usual, doh!

I have no fins in mine, its so much more fun in my opinion, and yes it is harder, but when you stomp a FS popped shuv and stick it, you know your stoked.
Ride a wakeboard if you want fins
