how wide can a board still qualify as a performance board
hey guys

in your opinion for a 92/95 kgs fella looking for a performance board ( i dont want to go below 120 liters ) so most of the boards will be over 30'' wide! but im worried that at that width you cant really shred it...the thing is all major sup makers once we reach a certain volume for really heavy guys or not so skilled have to go wide, the flow 8.10x31 from sunova, the smik spitfire 8.8x31.5, the b-line infinity 8.8x31 etc just to name few but you got the idea..

so how do you shred board over 30'' wide? good skill ? but if you have good skills i guess you woudnt be riding a 31'' wide board ! you stick to a narrower board but with more thickness to compensate for the volume? but then you lose the nice thin rails that are integral to the performance mix !
most of the pics and video we see on internet/forum are from the smaller performance models 7'2 to 8.'2 size approx, but you dont see a lot of shreding made with the larger models.

so can you still call a large board over 30 wide a performance board or you have to challenge yoursel to below 120 ltrs volume board to thrully feel the performance side of a sup surf board?

just interested by all fellow sup riders experience;

cheers
