I've been looking at my bi-level, and I was wondering if anyone else has considered this.

Okay, on accident, I put the top deck on backwards, like, the wide end was at the not-as-wide end. Kind of hard to explain, but anyway. I was wondering, with the customization Cassette offers, maybe like a 15 or 16 inch tip width top deck (symmetrical) and a 14 inch tip width (also symmetrical). It's easier to get a smaller (14 inch wide) amount down farther into the water (which will build a bigger "ramp" to get you out), but on a regular skate, you would have to sacrifice that width. Well if you had a 15 or 16 inch wide top deck, you could have your foot room, and more leverage to push the bottom board into the water. (Which is ultimately what gets you in the air). Of course, you can only take this so far.

Any thoughts, ideas, contributions?

after further reading i take back my first statement. wouldnt you want more surface area on the tail to provide more power.
