1, 2, 3, 4, 5... how many fins do you prefer?

Tuesday, April 29, 2008, 01:49 PM PST [General]

Just picked up a Vesso 6'1" retro single fin last week and got my first good day on it this weekend... never ridden a short single fin before. Super fun and forgiving while holding a fast line with minimal pumping required, "it's like riding a combination of my fish & pin tail. The best of both worlds!"

What else could a soul surfer like me ask for?

So how many do you prefer?
