Fins are about 90% turning.

Technically....fins are about creating lift - mostly sideways (horizontal) lift. It either helps you turn or resist turning (ie go straight) by giving you something to push off of - drive or hold. So you are both right!
Of course there is also drag.

Do you snowboard ? That could be part of your turning problems.
