I rode it when ever there were a decent ground swell with some push. <br /><br />Weight wise it is relatively light in compared to the balsa we get now a days. Back then it seemed like "old growth" balsa weights were much lighter. The "new growth" is much denser heavier and much more fibrous. <br /><br />The older guys that glued up the wood were much more conscientious ie, they would pair up sticks by weight and would pick the lighter pieces. Now days they just glue up what ever they can get their hands on.Oak Foilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14627347530349612290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1733602927343386544.post-46825716895840548202010-11-19T23:48:42.672-08:002010-11-19T23:48:42.672-08:00Classic Pintail.
