although ive been doing this sport for nearly 10 years and i got most moves down, ive never experimented with board shape or design. main reason is cash. i cant buy a new board every year, and there not thousands of boogers in EL so that we can all try each others boards out. but factory7 recently had a huge special. so i got myself a rheopaipo gothic on special.
all ive ever riden is custom rossi's. battail, channels, 50/50 rail. nothing special, but it works for me. now id like to find out what dimentios the gothic has. i feel it has way more bite, especially on hollow waves. its rails seem steeper like60/40 or something. it has cresent tail and much longer channels. it struggles in small stuff, but like i said, rides really well in steep hollow waves. so im keen to know what rail it has, if anyone knows, and if theres any other reasons in board shape that im feeling this diffence.
ive been doing this sport for awile now and think its time i learn board shapes and get to know whats what.
shot guys
