Sweet Potato Diamond or Chop Tail

Yeah it would be more mini Simmons like. Its all about having fun :)

So why did you chop the tail on the SF? Since doing this, do you find it easier or harder to: bottom turn, release off the top, plane on flat sections easier, catch less rails on landing airs?

Ha no I meant the link was working for me! I'm on mac to for the record :D

Jon, I am not sure why I chopped the Spitfire off. The corner of the diamond was knocked and cracked and my repair wasn't as sharp as the original and I fancied experimenting.

I find the cut off tail accelerates more quickly on take offs and releases and slides very easily off the top. I found with the K2.1 set it was easy to slide round into a reverse off the top, too easy in fact so I started running K3s to get a bit more grip. Good fun though.
I wouldn't say it affected the planing of the board or anything like that, still feels good coming off the bottom. I need to take it out again soon, I always take my Sub out now when it's smaller.
