Then there is the rest of us! We need help. Ironically, certain small design differents in a board can make a big difference for us average folks so good reason to have a few boards to match different waves and sizes. Likewise, a talented rider can forever exploit those incremental design changes in ways I will never go. Nonetheless, there is nothing like a good surf. Click to expand... Agreed Paipodude! Been surfing for nearly 50 of my 58 years, and I can attest that I can surf every board I've ever tried or ridden. I'm sure we've all tried it, swapping boards with a buddy, etc & riding waves. For those that can't surf or are beginners, besides a Soft Top or a SUP, ditching the paddle & just riding the board, I don't think that there is a magic board that'll make you stand up & be a surfer. Surfing takes time to be halfway good, years at a matter of fact. Being out on the ocean takes away all your frustration, pain, and the daily drag of life. Doesn't matter the board, it just gives you THAT feeling & that's why we surf! |
