My first fish was a G&S as well... don't recall the shaper. It didn't mean anything to me at the time anyway. I was till in high shool... so,...
The one thing I have tried that I know makes the biggest difference in how a fish rides and feels is tinkering with the tail shape and tail...
Have I bored the sh!t out of everyone yet?
Not necessarily user error... all boards have their optimum performance window. But let me clarify the rocker comment... Let's say typical fish...
Hey! That's my board! It got stolen about 7 years ago... son of a...

Hard to say... but I'll cross that bridge someday, and figure it out then.
That's my favorite part of CA. Scored some beautiful waves there, solo, at someplace I just happened upon driving down the coast. A little sketchy...
