is that I will almost certainly be waiting until next year!!! to move on any of this. I am currently deep into a meditation project and pretty committed to grind until next spring. But then...we will see. This mental contemplation of "the ride" is my recreational break from sitting HAH!Thanks for the tip off about measurement of board, I do think you're right, and my shorter legs/longer torso ratio should actually be an advantage at least in terms of getting my legs out of the water on a speed run. In retrospect, I think the "too big" thing w/ my antique Mike Stewart was width mostly. Making someing around 38 or 39 X 19 likely a lot more manageable.
Noticed last night looking at side by side photos of your board and the Tuna tail by tail, Tuna has flat/parallel outside the concave and yours are actually V-panel chines or whatever the term would be. Should make your board a lot more responsive and easier to turn (with small sacrifice in drive)(always trade-offs).
