Towards the end of my weekend, things were starting to smooth out with my stroke. Much more relaxed yet controlled.
I'm 6'-3" and my weight fluctuates between 190 and 195. On a shorter board, I found it easier to find the sweet spot for a well balanced prone paddling position. On this board (7'-4"), it feels trickier to me. I don't think it's quite long enough for my toes to be touching the tail (as in a true longboard), so I keep sliding up and down the board looking for what's right. Obviously I don't want the nose pushing too much water and same for pearling. Any thoughts?
