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:-)
Don't forget to bring a towel!

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.

Andrew B. (stinkworks) used a piece of coat hanger.
Thermals are good.
