Just wondering if you change your form at all depending on the type of board you are riding. For example are there some things that work well for getting big air on a 3-stage that would make little difference on a progressive?

3 stage boards are much slower than a continuous board. So different riding styles work better with different boards in my opinion. I like 3 stage because i generally cut out wide, and take a really mellow approch but do a quick progressive edge close to the wake. So i get bucked pretty hard off the wake but i usally go more wake 2 wake unless im trying to go in the flats. However the pop on a 3 stage board is less consistant than a continous board

Continous is usually a good deal faster than three stage. Also the pop is more consistant, so it is easier to be consistant. I am not very comfortable on continuous boards. I like hitting the wake and being able to "feel" the pop.

The technique for getting big air on either board is generally the same. The same amount of air can be gotten on either board, the shape of the board will affect the path you take to get that "air". It is more of a comfort thing in my opinon.

That makes sense, thanks!

if you ride a little more tail heavy on a 3 stage your pop will be more consistant and controllable. once you figure out the sweet spot back on the tail i have found the 3 stages to be faster than a continuous rocker.
