Sittin on the lineup

[jnl90]

I noticed the other day, as I was sitting on my board waiting for a wave, that when I sat on my board, the board did not sink into the water. As I looked around, I saw that others who were sitting on their board had water up to a little over their waist.

Now, they had much smaller boards, as I'm on a 7'7", but I was wondering if that was weird.

It's not a big deal and I could really care less, but I just noticed it for the first time. It's just my weird paranoia.

The reason your floating higher is your board is either more buoyant or your lighter than the other guys in the line up. OR their boards are less buoyant.

No big deal either way.

sorry have to find this amusing.

Its nothing to worry about

lol, I don't blame you, if I were in your position, I'd find it amusing, as well. Hell, I, myself, find it funny.

really nothing to worry about on my boards it varies from me sitting chest deep n getting submerged if i dont pay attention to sitting right out of the water like you said.

i actually find it easier to sit if the board is completely submerged

i cant sit on a minimal-keep fallign off every 10 minutes

any else find this or is it just me?
