I want tighter turns board feels stiff when turning


Fin Guru Response:

Hi Zach - what your saying makes sense and I attached a photo to show you why (below).

The Jordy has too much rake. In the picture I compared it to the Mayhem med. You can see in the pic the Mayhem is way more upright. That gives you pivot. So I would do the Mayhem medium or the Pyzel medium. They both have a solid base for the drive but are upright for pivot. The Pyzel has a narrower tip then the Mayhem so that one would have a little more release on turns release where the Mayhem should hold through the carve a little better. 

Cool - hope that helps

All the Best,

Fin Guru
