1surfer Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 I grew up riding hand shaped surfboards provided by my sponsors. I thought custom hand shaped boards were the only way to go. I have been riding moulded surfboards for about 13 years because they are so much faster. Most people react the same way the first time they ride one. They usually fall backwards off the tail during or after the first bottom turn. This is because the muscle memory of the surfer is used to the board flexing a bunch at that point. The moulded Surf Tech style boards are so much stiffer that you lose less speed due to flex in the bottom turn. Il tell you what, my SurfTech McTavish boards are soooooo Phreakin Fast !!!!! Faster than any foam board, I GUARRR---ON--TEEEE !!!! ( however due to the stiffness they do not absorb shock as well... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
