Board slaps and hops and in general that front 8 to 10 inches just never gets wet. My favored length for these is 6'3 to 6'5. I'm 6'2. These are not good turners from center. Click to expand... I've never noticed the slap/hops. Pic is myself on a 7'6" mitsven quad long fish at O-Side Jetties. One of THE funnest boards at Swamis on a head high day when it's running all the way to the sand. I usually found my back foot about a foot past the fins. Board turned on a dime. Now, to be fair I'm 6'3" 240 so I have a bit extra size/weight to push the board around and bury the shit out of the rail. Funnest "long fish" for me are typically 6'8" quads but this 7'6" was a wonderful board. |
