"Scooped" vs. flat pocket Kitefoil board
Hi everyone,
I have been riding my 4'6" drawftcraft for several months now and think it is time to transition to something smaller, like a pocket style board in the 120-130cm range. I am 180lbs/80kg, 6' tall, intermediate rider foiling primarily on flat/choppy waters and do a little swell riding.
I've shopped around and found that the biggest difference between brands was primarily in the rocker, with either "flat" boards (duotone pace, F-one pocket) or heavily scooped ones (North Scoop, Groove wave and even Kahana shapes to some extent).
I was wondering if you guys could share your experience and discuss the advantages and drawbacks between flat or scooped pocket boards. One difference I have observed in small scooped boards is the front foot sitting slightly higher relative to the back foot? Does this provide more control? Does it allow for smoother transitions or make things actually harder?
Thanks!

Small low volume foil board
What are the advantages of a small foil board(say around 1m long) with low volume.
What's every body riding?
I see Kanaha is pretty popular,
Anyone ridden the Slingshot Micro 3'6"
Is any one doing custom or trying to make pocket board in Aus?
Thoughts appreciated
Horey
