I think it is because of the increse nose rocker wants to push a little more water. You have to get off the nose rocker when you paddle in order to stop that. I also had a very light weight gun and it did not paddle all that well eather. The way I say it is that a heavy board gives you more 60 to 120, while a light board gives you 0 to 60. In other words a heavy board may be a little harder to get going but it sure is nice once you get up to speed. What I try and make sure I make very clear to a new shaper, is this is going to be a big board and I'm not going to be able to push it under or through a wave so I need to be able to paddle it fast. Just my take on it. |
