feel free to use this technique for any other boogie boarding related problems you might have. Of course if that doesn't help it might be the fault of the clothes your wearing. What brand tshirt to you like and how tight are they?
Also helps while taking the drop to exhale letting out a loud high-pitch "WWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" sound. This release of preasure helps the rails grab the face of the wave.

yeah it says 100 pecent water proof but when you plug it with your leash n shit thats where the waters guna get into the core a lil bit so just make the plug nice n tight n it should be pretty fine

yea, i used to only like PE boards mainly because of the flex and never thought i would like a stiff board, BUT!! i got the rawlins ltd, and i must say it is quite stiff and my bottom turns and scoops are good if not better than they were before... biggest difference between a PP scoop and a PE scoop, PP i feel, seems to follow through and project more than a PE...
