Hahaha nice dude!
Well I just got back ... and it rides pretty much like my other no name brand thrusters hahaha. In fairness, the waves were small, getting increasingly blown out, and, again, I am no pro rider. I do notice a nice little turbo boost when I sort of pump forward on a wave just before take-off (sorry, hard to explain). On take off, the thing is squirly man. Maybe 1 out of 3 waves, I'll pop up and find my sweet spot. Otherwise its the headless frog in a blender dance. Not sure if all this extra umph is because it is a new board and my other boards are old and likely water logged though. Still, I dig this board and no regrets with the purchase at all.

Do you mean it's not straight with the stringer? Hmmm ... not sure I've ever seen a straight one before.
