Wide Wood Board (FT138) vs Popsicle Stick Wide Wood Board (FT138) vs Popsicle Stick FT138 - planes earlier - rides faster - takes a larger sail - takes a larger fin Popsicle stick - will last longer than one season - much cheaper - much lighter - yummy icecream attached - fits in any handbag To make it clear: Wide wood board - do not use frequently (too much stress, likes to hang above the fireplace instead) - do not gybe (you might place your feet ON the board, in that case it will break) - do not pump (you will issue a bit of pressure ON the board, in that case it will break) - do not ride over chop (magic carpet effect == board will take slight blows that will be caught with your feet pushing against the straps, pushing the board over the chop: in that case footstraps AND base will tear out of board) - do not use fins, they only get cracked up by finbox. It could be that I was unlucky and got a faulty board, but *b doesn't see it that way. |
