The board goes around the corner without losing speed. If you stay on the edge with equal stance, you will experience knee buckling G forces in long carves. Strapped it's like a fast snowboard, and it holds an amazing edge. Would not have been able to ride it strapless that day, I don't have that skill. I also took it out with straps on a 25-40kn day, helluva gusty wind and nasty chop. It ollies well and pops out of the water nicely, but I feel the fins are too big for trickery, they are ideal for carving.

I still have too much fin on it, I'll have to try it smaller fins. The board reacts a lot to shifting the stance, it takes a while to get used to this, but after half an hour I had it dialled and really enjoyed having 3 boards in one: a skim-like feeling when driving it off the back foot, a loose surf board like feeling when riding it upright with a bit more back foot than front foot, and a solid fast board smoothing out the chop when you ride it with equal stance on the edge. Carving about, it feels exactly like a snowboard in powder, you can slide the tail by shifting the stance just a bit to the rear, or carve solid using the edge in equal stance.

It goes upwind very well, holds a nice edge, just right, and has a nice skatey feeling once you get off the edge. First I got it out strapless on two 20kn days with little chop. This week I had a couple of sessions, after a long windless time, being able to ride the Ghetto Shark with and without straps in various conditions. Anyway, I'll shoot the guys a mail and come back on this one. Hi ice, I was just trying your pic on my version of AKUshaper when I found out that my version of AKUshaper isn't working anymore.
