Choosing bouyancy as best as I can
Posted: Mon Apr 06, 2009 7:07 pmI'm looking for my next board but I want to get the buoyancy `just so`.
At the moment I have a 5'10 twin fish.
Sadly it is a little to short for my ability (about 6" or more), and it's also not particularly easy to duck dive. I feel this is because I weigh 11.5 stone, and I think 13+ stone would be better for it.
Where can I find boards rated by buoyancy? I can't go by size because, as I've learnt, size is not any guide to getting a match to the rider's weight.
What I'm after is something longer (6.5-7.5') and slightly less buoyant than what I have.
