The Grind Base does make the board a little bit heavier, but not enough to notice a diffefrence on the water when riding. Performance wise you might notice the Harley Grind being a little bit more slippery on the water compared to the standard base, but the removable fins vs. molded fins definitely help it bite a bit more when edging. Hitting the cable or not, the Grind is gonna be more durable. So, if you tend to be tough on your boards or hit a lot of rails/sliders, go with the Grind. Happy shredding!
