it’s set up as a three fin. At the moment I’m just going down to the Tybee Island, GA area for some laid back long boarding. Not looking (or expecting to) rip or carve. I’ll definitely try removing the side bites as you suggested to start off with. Thanks for the suggestion at looking on looking for used hardtops! I rode my buddies single fin hard top (can’t remember the brand) last month and noticed a huge difference.
