Heavy boards are for pro's

Light boards are for Cons. Laughing

Seriously though its personal preference. I fee that a heavier board is alot more consistant. Some people say that light boards pop better but................those people are idiots. Laughing

Ride them both and figure it out what you like best. I promise that you dont ride just like someone else, So your interpertation of what's good and what's not is going to very ...

Pros of a Heavy Board- when going w2w it sticks to your feet way more, more consistant, solid feel, easyer to catch, predictable

cons of a Heavy Board- I dont know

Pros of a light board- floats more when your getting up which helps for winching and getting up in shallow water

Cons of a light board- not solid, flys away alot

I really found that going from a light board to a heavy board made a huge difference. I am deffinately not as experienced as some people on here tho so wait for more replys.
