I was watching a few heats of the 6000 QS currently on in Newcastle, OZ. Most of the comp has been held in pretty dismal looking conditions, but not total dog sh!t.
After each heat they'd interview the winner, and it struck me that they all seemed to ride normal HPSBs an inch or more longer than they were tall. And it's not like they were doing meaningful rail gouges - it was all about super quick snaps and hacks. I would definitely not pick my 6'3 Ghost for those conditions, possibly not even my 6'0 Pyzalien.
What does the collective think? Are we all riding boards too short for us and the conditions?
