Try More front foot/mast pressure into your rail and less pushing out on your back foot. You can avoid spinning out with a tiny freestyle fin so don't blame your fins, just adjust technique:-)

Clearly I need to pick a better sarcasm emoji.

Likely both boards will be used as thrusters or quads most of the time with a possible try as a twin.

We use to use a small “fore fin” usually made from an old fin. About 3” deep and 1”wide right in front of the the main fin. Definitely eliminates spin outs.
