What board do you ride? Comment down below!
Thanks for the great video. Simple basic explanations for those looking to get their first board .
Omg thank you
I miss the 2006 Marius board! Is there anything similar out there in the market? I’ve been out of the sport since 2010, but getting back in. That board was so much fun.
Lol I learned on a Skurfer 🙌😎🤣
Cool
Whats your stance size and angle ?
Thanks for the comment. We will probably do a video shortly about stance and binding set up but ideally you want to be just slightly ducked out with your stance a little over shoulder width. (Some of this is personal preference and what’s comfortable) think squat stance when setting up your boots on the board.
Is there a noticeable difference between the board sizes that go up in 1cm increments (136, 137, 138,...)? On a 138, my stance feels too wide. Would a 137 give me a narrower stance, or would I need to go even lower?
Does your stance feel to wide even on the closest together mounting locations? If that is the case then the board maybe just too big for you. I would suggest going down a few sizes to get that stance a little more comfortable. perhaps a 136 and 135 might be a good option.
Hi , why the 3 stage rocker has softer landings ?
The theory is that with an aggressive transition in the rocker line is that it breaks up the water better on landings making the landings feel softer.
sorry dude - this video doesn't answer any questions at all for the beginner. Clearly you know a lot about wake boarding - and the video is well intentioned - but it fails massively to deliver any specific and valuable content about 'this is the board to buy if you are new'. Too much knowledge about something often gets in the way of actually just giving basic valuable coaching.
