Jack M Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yeah, they're great fun. Just don't go too fast. http://bomberonline.com/resources/Bomberfiles/summer_carving.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossamer Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 My son and I own Carveboards and I would say that it gives you the rhythm of linked turns with a "soft floating" type turn, like you would get in 6" of powder. Air pressure and board flex play a big role in the feel of the ride, and you want to keep your speed in check to avoid speed wobble. I weigh 210 and ride a 9 ply and my son Cody at 160 rides a 7 ply. You can't get too aggressive on one but on the right incline with the right air pressure they are fun. I don't ride much anymore because pavement doesn't give like Utah powder. Water looks soft, maybe I'll try surfing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
