Not necessarilly, there are probably chicks that dig guys in VW's. There are probably guys driving VW's that could beat the tar out of some guy's in a Porsche. With driving as with surfing, I think alot has to do with the driver/rider.

I think however we have kinda lost what the original thread was about. So in answer to the original poster.
If you try to surf a longboard like a shortboard you are going to eat it a lot which i found out myself. Longboards do not respond in the same way at all so naturally it will take a few sessions to get used to how the board works.

RoyStewart wrote:Otter you have completely misunderstood what I am saying.
I am not saying that because a board is long that it's length prevents it from being well designed, I am saying that the current design fashion for longboarding is for noseriding longboards and that THEY are fundamentaly flawed, but NOT because of their length.
Also, it isn't the case that because a board is long it is therefore a noserider . . .. I have longboards which don't noseride at all andt they ride waves much more efficiently than noseriding malibus do.
