I just cant spin at all on the red rocket with the stock fins, should i look at getting the shorter fins?

I have a 2015 Victoria PCX XL skim. Awesome board for my height/weight (6-3"/280lbs)

They have the Captain in XL for the 2016 boards.

Maybe it's just the higher end surf style, but I find them much faster than skim. I think because they are so much more buoyant than most skim style. My Doomswell is at least twice as thick as any skim I've ridden. I've ridden Doomswell, Soulcraft and one other higher end surf style whose name eludes me. They are all fast, meaning forward to back speed. You step on the gas on one of those surf style they move forward quickly.

For the most part my phase 5 has been the fastest board I have ridden with one big exception. The Doomswell nubstep was a rocket. I had to stay on the brakes the entire time on that board. While I didn't care for the style of it, it was definitely the fastest board I've ever ridden

The Humanoid Lip Stick skim is actually twice as thick as the Candyland, which is their fast aggressive shredder. Makes it very fast and buoyant. First board I've been able to spin more than 360s on, and I'm 225lbs.
