I'd recommend pull ups to help propel yourself faster onto the wave, should be the remedy. If that doesn't work maybe push ups to help you get the nose of the board angled down correctly for a swift drop in
Tech weenies ruined surfing
Your 1/16" too thin, thick, wide or narrow surfbort isn't stopping you from surfing like Mick Fanning
I've never felt a fin holding me back on a take off, a pencil neck weak biotch might fare differently
I just find it comical that average surfers focus on the minutia of board design. Once you've been surfing a while you should know what are your preferences and what feels good.
Welcome back lifeonmars, we all missed you greatly.
Anyways
Not "holding you back on takeoff" in general but holding you back relative to other fins, jackass.I just find it comical that average surfers focus on the minutia of board design. Once you've been surfing a while you should know what are your preferences and what feels good.
Fins holding you back on takeoff?
A strong offshore breeze will be more of an impediment than whatever you think is holding you back inside your head
Heard dumb stuff like this IRL too, selling a used board with dents on the bottom guy said "you think they'll slow me down"
it's all in your head lightweight, try adding a little forward pressure when you stand up next timeNot "holding you back on takeoff" in general but holding you back relative to other fins, jackass.
It's not common, but I've definitely had a fin set-up affect paddling and/or wave catchability.it's all in your head lightweight, try adding a little forward pressure when you stand up next time
I get it and am in agreement with you.I just find it comical that average surfers focus on the minutia of board design. Once you've been surfing a while you should know what are your preferences and what feels good.

why you holding out and not posting more quiver shots and build threads? Give the people what they want, we demand better from you.Ride/shape my own boards.
I might just do thatwhy you holding out and not posting more quiver shots and build threads? Give the people what they want, we demand better from you.
FIXEDI WILL just do that
Tried and true AMs for thrusterAs someone whos been riding twinzers exclusively for a few years now Im back to playing around with my normal HPSB. Right now I have a roberts thruster set in them which feel fine but boring. Whats a good quad or dare I say thruster set that will give me that same or similar "squirt" of a twinzer while still allowing me to get my wiggle on? Futures base.
As far as ease of catching waves, I would assume that outline/volume forward would be the most significant aspect.Fin design is at the very bottom of the list, in the bilge so to speak regarding take offs.
Proper board foil, proper board size, entry rocker and entry bottom contours are the main contributors.
… nose width can help or hinder - depending on the type of waves, same w parallel vs curvy outline.As far as ease of catching waves, I would assume that outline/volume forward would be the most significant aspect.
