I'm neither of those things, but I think I get what you mean by twitchy. Only way I can describe it is in snowboarding terms...Natho wrote:I gave a mate a go who is a great surfer and is very good at picking up on technical aspects in a board.
It's like when you are riding on the groomed slopes but there was a small powder fall over night (2 inches or so). when the board is flat you are riding powder and it feels loose, when on a rail you are engaged with the hardpack underneath. When transitioning between rails there is a feeling of weightlessness that is similar to what I think you mean.
I like single concave forward in boards that I use in a-frame peaks with steep takeoffs. Immediate lift without a bottom turn, and typically I am not going to turn until I am on the shoulder and it's an all or nothing turn. But only up to about 3 foot. Above that you can get the squirrely twitchiness I think you mean.
And only in slightly wider outlines.
