Has anyone else suffered from the troubles of face spray from this board? I had the same issues with Nobilee 666 last year which is why I made the switch however I am now having the same difficulties....I have the 136 X 40 model (which I love)!! Any ideas on how I can irradicate it? shymac Since 20 Jul 2005 919 Posts Home Valley, Wa.

The board works well in flat water with those cat fins but with the choppy waters of the Gorge the fins have much pick up. trust in small fins. magicmaker Since 29 Oct 2006 895 Posts da Hood Opinionated Wed Jun 20, 07 1:29 pm     shymac wrote: trust in small fins. hellz yea i ride the same board with .75" glide fins and just love it. not as much pop as the 2" fins, but the flatwaterability the .75" fins provide is just frikking awesome.

The boards totally loosens up with the smaller fins and allows for much tight jibing and slashing.
