Your rocker looks OK, even if on the flat side. Most longboards, especially nose-riders, tend to have almost more rocker (or at least curve) in the tail than in the nose. Your tendency to pearl should probably be attributed to the fact that you’re not accustomed to longboards yet. Mushy waves can’t help, of course.
Atta Way Max! The big payoff, very cool. I have to agree with Balsa on all points. Once you get used to the length it will come. Try to save this board until you are too old to surf anymore. Or, at least to pass on to one of your kids. The temptation will be to sell it to do another which is fine but this is your first. Wish I still had my first.
LOL thanks! I’m already thinking about another one but I think I might wait a few weeks, have to get some stuff done around the house that I have been putting off!
