Another amazing session today ! I have noticed that I rarely if ever place my back foot on the stomp pad. In fact, I have my back foot a good foot or more forward from the pad. Do you guys surf the ADD with your back foot on the pad or do you maintain a more Center of the board stance? Are you able to carve, make turns with this more center foot placement?

I have been switching back and forth between a thruster and a quad set-up for my 7'2" Add.

My experience has been that I do pick up a bit more speed with the quad set up, but I lose some stability and control i gain with the thruster.

I cant' decide which I prefer... Perhaps I should just stick to one set up until I am used to it....

Just wondering what other Addvance riders go with and what they experience on either?

based on my weight (230lbs) and hight (6'3") and the fact that I had not surfed in a few years, I decided to get back into it on an Addvance 706.

I like the board in that it has allowed me to regain my confidence.

I am now looking for something with a bit more performance and more suited to my size.

More info: I surf in Southern Calif. usually beach breaks.. 2 to 5 feet. I am 42 years old with average fitness.

Am I correct in thinking that an optimal step down board from the Addvance is the Dom?? What is recommended?

What size would you guys recommend based on my stats?

Many Thanks!
