Can I still use my paddle board without a fin?
Having a fin in the water helps you to keep the paddleboard to track in a straight line. Making it slower to turn means you’ll find paddling forwards a lot easier. If you didn’t have a fin then you may find that with each paddle stroke, you begin to spin around. Stand up paddle boarding is an excellent full-body workout, meaning, it works all the muscles in your body – your shoulders, chest, back, core, arms and legs. And while you’re getting fit, you get to be outside, in the sun, enjoying beautiful views and the sounds of nature.It Burns Calories Twice the amount than your average walk around the neighbourhood!

Is it better to paddle board with 3 fins or 1 fin?
So, is 1 fin or 3 fins better for a SUP? If you are just starting, then we recommend opting for a SUP with 1 fin due to its reduced drag and ability to turn easily on flat water. If you are an experienced SUP’er looking to tackle more rocky waters, then a 2+1 or a 3 fin setup will serve you best. Having 3 fins instead of 2 fins in a twin set up makes the board more stable and easier to manoeuvre as the back fin creates a bit more drag. Simon Anderson came up this popular set up in the 80’s as he wanted to create a better fin set up for high performance surfing in big waves.
