Yeah, but no one really answered how to do it. I sent sleucrew a pm and never got a reply. I've tried riding at 23 and the board rides a lot better. But if that is not an option, you may just have to take your chances and look at the pics. The last thread was Omen Riders Help!

if the edges come sharp i would soften the edges with sand paper in the middle so you dont catch on lip tricks

fletch, i recently chanded how i ride to 20.5 works great for me (165lbs)

Yeah, the faster the better. I also took the fins off that they put on it. That was slowing it down too. Plus I'm used to riding finless.

88skisupreme, thanks for the post. Sleu put that up in the old thread too. My question is whether the top white sheet is considered part of the core, or whether I sand down that and the rail.

t-Rex, yeah let me know. I don't have a boat or anything, and I'm not a great rider, but I love to get out there.

Sand the white top sheet as well, at least I did.

tribal, thanks, finally someone answered that for me. Do you know how far in you can sand before you get to the core?

i dont understand why u would sand the top sheet at all Question

Well the rail starts a little under the top sheet. I'm not sure how you would sharpen the rail downward without shaving a little off the top sheet.

That's what I thought too, but I hate to mess up the top sheet. I'm going to leave it like it is for a while since I like the way it rides right now.

fletch, i am gonna re shape soon, but i don't wanna mess it up. and i don't wanna make it to sharp on the center... i don't want it to catch on boardslides and such

fletch · Frontside 180 Joined: 20 Apr 2006 Posts: 290 City: Raleigh

Yeah, let me know how it goes. I probably will at some point, but I want to get an electric sander or something.

fletch, i'll probably use a belt sander, but i don't think i'll have time in the next 2 weeks. maybe in august
