3/4 vs. 5/8

[Maddshot]

i weigh 170 have an ML and a 5/8 exile hybrid. I suck at skimming since i pretty much just started, but im glad im learning on a 5/8... if i get good on it to begin with i figure thats the way to go about learning.

Everyone's talking about 3/4, what about the SOl 7/8??? that must be like a surfboard.

speaking of surfboards, assuming a surfboard can float your body weight with zero speed, which I think they can for the most part, they have to have tremendous flaot, and therefore thickness, how do they reatin the ability to carve the face of the wave, if it's a totalally different concept then don't bother explaining.

I guess this is where a Maui skimmer fills the gap right? a surfboard with no fins, ,ust be fun for liners, skurfing... Tow ats...

heh. the sol 7/8's isnt for everyone. i like mine but the rails are trimmed down to resemble a 5/8's if not thinner. theyre really sharp....maybe too sharp so that they dig into the wave and go under when wrapping hard.

see if you can try some and see for yourself. no one here knows what youll like

1/8 of an inch is not going to hold you back, but whatever floats your boat i guess

Buy a board either way, get started if you enjoy riding it stick with it if not change it, its not always the boards fault....

[paddymack]

its always the boards fault cause every skimmer is flawless...except for beaker...what a kook

[jesse]

tru dat.

37/64 is the only thing that floats my boat

[jesse]

then your boat must be kinda tiny. that's a thin board...
