One board that I actually ride, a round nosed semi knee board looking 5'5" twin keel. It looks especially small since I am about 6'1" and 200lbs . I ride it in everything and get looks like I am nuts all the time. Had a guy ask me as I walked passed him the other day say "so can you stand on that thing?" This is a board I shaped and is the best board I have ever ridden. Other than skipping on Saturday I have had it out in anything from knee high to overhead with no problem.
