Really can't get a handle on them. Who knows could jump on and love it but it just doesn't look right. Having said that the short ones would probably go good and the big ones look like a fun board.

I hate the look of them and don't like the whole 90% backfoot weighted principle behind it, with both feet being glued in the one spot.

Like what if you want to trim/glide thru a section, be more forward and front footed on the board, threading off the inside rail further up the board.

Some of the early 90's looking McCoys looked ok though. The rest to me look like corky turds.

That said I've never ridden one. Though would be willing to have a shot, but just not actually buy one.

Yeh I wouldn't like the stationary feet thing, I adjust mine unconsciously.

Funny, a few years ago I was talking about front foot /back foot surfing. I remember getting taken to task about it. Now largely because of board design it's chucked around again a lot more.
