Light boards and heavy boards.
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2011 7:57 am
I went from heavy directional boards to light surfboards and just don't like heavy boards anymore.
There is a tenancy towards heavy boards when it comes to kitesurfing brands.
Strength is obviously an issue, but there is high tech stuff that is light and very strong.
I have noticed that many really good directional and strapless directional riders around here ride
lighter surfboards rather than directional kiteboards.
Anyone else there feel the same about lighter boards.
To me it just feels more lose and light rather than metaphorically speaking pushing a heavy log around.
(no offence intended).
Also do any surfers prefer heavy surfboards? I don't think so.
