Anyway, on with the post. After years of riding the same old board, I finally splashed out the other day on a 'new and improved, super deluxe, limited edition, ride deeper/boost higher' model. Which got me thinking, is there really all that much difference between boards these days?
From a visual (and perhaps dimensional) perspective, apparently not. Today's photo is a shot of 5 boards (my old & new, and three from a mate), overlain to allow a quick and easy check of the dimensions.
First thing I notice is the placement of logo's hasn't changed much. And while the plug placement is very much a personal choice, there's a decent range there, even for 2 blokes choosing the location.
And even though there are 4 different board sizes there, there's not really that much difference between the lot. Which probably says a lot about the power of suggestion.
