Ok...second post.... What is the difference, besides the obvious, between 55/45 and 60/40 rail options? Which one would pair up best with a bat tail? I live in Oceanside, CA (San Diego County) and am looking for a board for this winter. Also, one or two stringers?
Hey mang...peep you're other thread in regards to tail...and see what Ben Severson says about 50/50...I've always had 60/40 so I cant really speak to anyu of that...
Depends on your riding type, for prone you can go either way.. 50/50 rails offer more speed while 60/40 offers more control (less speed, though) It depends on what you really prefer. I personally prefer 60/40. Stand up or DK you definitely want 60/40. 55/45 is probably best for prone. Two stringers is best so you don't snap your board. Three stringers might be a little much depending on the mechanics. Probably best to stay away from one stringer. Try to shoot for Surlyn slick (surlyn makes a huge difference) and Polypropylene core. These materials cost more but they do make a difference.
