yeah, Savannah doesn't have much, but does have more elevation change than where I live. I also ride a rayne avenger, btw, but I learned for 4 years (got it when I was 10 or 11) on that pintail. I still only have 3 boards, one which is partly my sibling's.

Unfortunately I can't edit my post anymore a moderator has to do it, otherwise I would have add other things...

Just FYI the Fu Manchus grip but you can get them to slide and drift if you carve hard.

Well done EFG !!
Thats a great list man.

Im loving the drama that goes with it. You should add this....., you should take this out.
Truck angle contradictions, board classification, terrible spelling...
THIS THREAD ROCKS !!!!

ok so i want to get into speedboarding, but i dont want to spend a lot of money on a new deck since i already have a sector 9 bamboo surf camp. its just a standard pintail, but can i speedboard on it? it has a lot of flex, so will that make it harder to balance at higher speeds?

Flex makes turning at decent speeds unpredictable-
particularly torsional flex, something pintails have in spades.

it's not impossible to make your board more stable, but it's never going to meet real speedboard standards.

cool thanks. so really i need a stabler, maybe heavier board? cuz the bamboo weighs pretty much nothing. and basically no or limited flex right?

a little flex is good for soaking up vibration (helps traction as the wheels don't skip along)
but generally speaking, stiff-as...
