WHO IS CONSIDERED THE FOREMOST SHAPER/DESIGNER CONCERNING OPTIMUM NOSERIDING SHAPES THESE DAYS? THE MACTAVISH/WALDEN DESIGNS SURE CLASH WITH THE TUDOR/KEVIN CONNELLY/NUUHIWA SHAPES BUT THEY ALL ARE TOP NOSERIDERS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT? VERY CONFUSING ISSUE EXPECIALLY THE NOSE ROCKER.
It’s really all about weight transfer. If you want to think it’s the board, that’s fine
Hey Tom, what weight are we talking about? Wrapping bags of helium around my waist, so I don’t weigh anything and the nose doesn’t realize I’m up there. There ARE boards that are good noseriders and those that are NOT and even a kook can get on the tip on a good one. The old school crew rode what they brung, but at a point wave you can set up anything for a nose ride. Where do you surf and what do you ride? Just curious. Jimbob.
