Anyone know...
What are the features of a board that make it smoother and more
controllable in chop? Certainly a smaller board is better. But
for a bigger board (for those days when its not quite windy enough
for the small board)--- is it a thin nose with plenty of scoop? A
narrow tail-- which is at odds with quick planing? Thin rails?
Or just a big blade fin and rider talent?
Thanks for any input.
