Looking at the background I'd go finless.

put it this way, never smiled sooo much in the waves....the fun factor is rediculous for me when riding these boards. The AquaBat ( currently ) has 2 tiny little fins which allows just enough hold for making sections and some very basic turns and floaters, but small enough to do spins anytime I want almost.....the foamy finless ( made from a block of housing insulation foam ) makes alaias seem like driftwood or possibly firewood ( for me anyways...)...
Longy, whats a heaper to you, is a keeper for me, its all about FUNction for me.....
each to their own but hard to really know until you've ridden a board imho, been plenty of times I have hopped on a sled and had no great expectations but then realize it goes much better than expected ( and visa versa too )...this one goes great for me, without fins mostly lately ( or 2 tiny ones at least...)

Jaffa, I'm opinionated, and I'm sometimes right. So?

sweet, any hints as to which boards?
I get the feeling that it'll be a mind opening traveler...

kinda caught in an ugly poo-man position but you can see the board mid spin, interesting to me to see how the boards sitting and whats going on....
swapping the tiny fins around on both boards soon and will surf them both in same sesh to see what goes best coz at this stage I really like them both....also have some new littler fins coming, tiny little almost 'D' fins shape.....

I've been running through designs in my head that would lock in rather than release, a finless board that can hold in the barrell via suction and hold in the face rather than via the use of an edge, if I get round to it I'll do a few scetches and some deeper thought and come back to this thread.
