Hey oldnut, if you’re looking to replicate a shortboard experience then you’re on the right track.
As you drop volume there’s a huge uptick in responsiveness and “feel”through the board.
you’ll always find a way to get the thing back to the lineup and into the wave; in my opinion the focus should be on performance.
I’m 77kg and at 103 litres my 8’1 x 28 JP feels like an aircraft carrier compared to my go to 7’6 x 27 x 92 litre in the same model.
