I am keen to add a MB to my quiver now after hearing so much positive talk about it...can't afford it but hey i'll do my bit for the world economy and spend a bit, but wondering if its better to go a longer rail line and thinner board or go a shorter rail line and a fatter board. Its use will be when the waves are over 4ft i am missing a HP board at the moment in my quiver been riding Hybrids to much. I want a performance board at the 29-31 litre range. So fat and short or tall and thin? i remeber reading a post by Chris a while ago and you mentioned a longer rail line is actually better for performance with this board???????? also whens the MB going on to the comapre boards? thanks
