Kampus Swing is unstable

After riding my friends Cassette 3D this weekend i have come to the conclusion that my Swing sucks. while it is wider and more stable as far as carving and such, boardsliding on the swing seems terribly hard to control, i always feel like im going to fall when i have the board sideways, where as when i was on the cassette i could ride perpendicular to the direction was going for as long as i wanted, boardslides were soo much easier, and everything was much cleaner...what do u think of this?

I ride a 3d and am also not a fan of the swing, now the k39 on the other hand, seemed good for as much asI rode it.

Like you mean it wants to catch an edge when you're sliding? I've never had much of a problem sliding it..

not catching an edge, just when im sliding it or the board is perpendicular it constantly feels like the boards slipping out on me, where as on the cassette everything was so easy

seven11dmd, haha when ever i ride my swing i love to do surface spins and go into reverse butters after w2ws just to set my footing back. i think it definetly is controlable. I do have a problem with my K39 MAYBE ITS THE FOAM...

i said this a long time ago....they made the edges almost even with the water and thats why it catches sumtimes. when u do slides on the wake it feels wierd cause the edges are thin. for any 180s it was bad too cause i put my foot all th way in the back when i do tricks and when i would land switch it would catch alot

i just didnt like this board it didnt work for me could be perfect for someone else...but not me
