I am in search for a soft landing board to keep my knees as long as possible. Unfortunately a lot of my tricks are easier for me to complete if I edge hard and land in the flats. Lot's of comments I have read say the bigger the board the softer the landing. I currently ride a 137 w/ 3 stage 2.75" rocker. I tried a board yesterday that has comments to be one of the softest landing boards in their line, 140 w/ continuous 3" rocker and my knees are still sore today from a big roll into the flats. The 140 is wider than the 137 so it definitely has more surface hitting the water. I am not trying to be brand specific, but it seems that a larger surface area hitting the water would not sink into the water as fast creating a harder landing. It also seems like a continuous rocker would land smoother than 3 stage. I am curious to others take on this.
Thanks,
Jim
