Absolutely right. Sometimes heavier is good - like guns or boards in unruly conditions.

Thinner also has a limit - rails need to be a certain size (but it's smaller than most production kneeboards around these days).

It's knot woking out too well. Any sugestions???

oh and tiki probably too many knots

Think this is the no fins concept that Red is talking about.

i like what red said about less fins. i like the caterpillar drive cutouts through the board. the rail, tail fin set up is key, i invite you to view my site and blog

they are not in the testing or research mode. these have been ridden in all kinds of surf for a long time. i sheer this freely.

the handle needs to go front to back, not across... much better for weight transfers and it'll loosen up more on cutbacks that way. I've also worked on a single attach point in the center with a knot tied on the loose end. That's knot as as effective for rail to rail moves in the barrel, but I don't lose the board as much on my vertical 360's.
