When you weight your rear foot on the jump-up, it lifts the nose via the tail rocker, and keeps the board loose for turning as you go down the line. A 9'8 is a long board for someone your height to manage in pitching style waves, probably adding just a foot would be plenty. If you like your Austin, why not talk to him about this next board? And can get plenty of deck strength in a double 6 deck with a rear half deck patch without having to deal with the extra weight of Volan. |
