After taking my board for a paddle on a still dam , i got a better appreciation of the sweet spot.Standing in different positions on the board made a big difference to the glide.Ive got a Fanatic 12,6 and i thought the board dragged its ass a bit , but i realised its cause i wasnt standing in the right spot , i usually stand where the carry hole is thinking thats the center of the board , but moving forward way more than i thought increased the glide heaps. Moral of the storey get on some really still water , its a good test.

Hey mac, took these shots of it today - 12'6 x 30 1/2.

Super stable but still plenty quick.
