It's all about just having fun on the water. The paint job just sets it off. Good on you for having a go.
Your totally right man, its all about shredding the knarr!
SupStyle said..OP, I applaud your efforts and your enthusiasm for sharing your first build and welcome you to seabreeze. shoot me a PM.
I'm shocked at the arrogant and ignorant comments from some of the members here. DJ in particular, I would have expected more from you then "Don't mean to be rude.. but.. if Fred Flintstone had a sup board that would be it."
"Just checking.. It's not April the 1st is it?"
DavidJohn said..Don't mean to be rude.. but.. if Fred Flintstone had a sup board that would be it.. I know someone who once made their first board.. He called that board Mr Lumpy.. Your board reminds me of that board..

You might find that the paddling straight thing is often more a technique thing rather than a fin thing.
Try standing slightly more forward so the tail is just starting to lift from the surface of the water.. Try taking shorter paddle strokes and don't bring the paddle much past your feet.. and try putting more weight on the same rail side that you are paddling on.
If this fails you need to remove your fin and put in normal fin box so you can try different fins till you find one that works.. Adding side fins might help.
Just checking.. It's not April the 1st is it?..

.. Do you have a pic of your paddle? .. I can just imagine what it's like..

Smily faces and all, it was rude and insensitive....shame on you!
You have lost my respect.

Thanks man! glad you enjoyed my first build.
But on a real note I dont mind people expressing how they feel about the board, none offense taken. And I'm sure DJ had no intention of offending me just clearly stating he has very high expectations for first builds lol.

+1 Supstyle. Can't believe the negativity.
Thanks! and it's all good, the negativity regarding the shape of the board gave me some motivation to do a kick ass paint job!!
