Short board dims!!

Postby Johno » Tue Jun 17, 2008 8:58 am

Just a quick one, I bought my first short board a while ago but havent used it much due to i decided to master the basics on my mini mal first.

Any way the dims were suppost to be 6' 8" x 21 x 2 5/8" thk but when i receaved it it was only 2 1/4" thk does this make much diffrence coz its got less float, is this to thin????
