Duck Diving with a funboard

Postby abaja » Wed Aug 18, 2004 8:28 pm

Hey,
Im trying to duck dive with my 7ft 4" Mino Shaped fun board and am having difficulty getting the board deep enough underwater. I am only 6 ft 140 lbs. Could this have anything to do with my weight or do i need a smaller board?

Peace

smaller board for duck dives. but you could always do a turtle roll. take the board, roll over on your back. hold the board as close as you can to your body. that should do the trick.

Yes, I imagine you'd have problems.
The one aspect of "funboards" that is anything but. Sorry, there is no easy way to do it. Just cope as best you can.
