For Christmas, I got a Slingshot Alien Twister 4'8" from blemboards. It was a good deal at less than $200. I didn't need it, I just wanted to add a board to my quiver and it was a steal. So I took it out last weekend, and I simply could not keep it in the pocket - at all. Even with vigorous pumping, I just washed out the back. I'm 5'8 and 190 lbs. I ride a Carbon Thruster, a Doum Skim, and a LF Noserider. I am an intermediate rider and normally have zero problem staying in the pocket on any adult board.
So, my question - is this board defective in some way or is just not for me? Anyone got any experience with it? I spent about 45 minutes over 2 sessions trying to ride with the rope and get the feel, but it just won't stay in the wake.
