will make my maiden voyage on the new local 144 this weekend...likely just of the wake as we don't have any sliders in as of yet...what can i expect from this board as far as learning curve, etc... does it pop/land/track any differently than a "normal" board? tell me anything you can about your experiences on a local....
my local boardshop, offaxis, ordered it for me last friday and it came in on Wednesday this week...seems to be alot of hype about it, everyone wants to ride it, and i personally cant wait for this sunday... where's andy nitzel when ya need him...
rode the local 144 yesterday and was pleasantly surprised...its a great board once you figure it out, its so cool how you can actually load it up before the wake and feel it snap, and there is nothing more fun than flexin in the flats...i think i am going to use this board as a trainig tool..kind of how baseball players use bat weights before steppin up to the plate...my jstar empire has never felt faster than after a set on the local...only downside..we lost two fins after ensuring they were tightened down...what gives? i think i heard this was happening on slingshots too..
