Hi, im 189cm x 105kg.Can someone please point out the advantages of modern shaped boards. Ive tried ol 90s rides n a few new shaped boards. Newer things are in my experience harder to ride than longer narrower 60-65cm boards.I understand it all looks good n fast on paper but the new boards are harder to master on the water.
Gotta bear way off to get it going. Right on the edge of CATAPULT KINGDOM. Then as it just jumps over its own bow wave, its time to move my feet into the straps. Problem is some elephant left its feet on my legs. Board skates all over the water as i try for the straps n WHAM im flung over the bars AGAIN??? So WHEN IS A NEW BOARD EASIER TO RIDE???? WHATS THE SECRET???
