I've got two friends who are not beginners & they swear by the board. They also both ride it with the smaller Absolute fins. According to them it helps a ton and really makes the board a little more vertical and less edgy. Trevor, try a newer Absolute, Transcend, Marius or Faction, they are certainly not trash. My buddy on the Faction was trying batwings to blind so I guess its not a beginners board. As I recall CWb doesn't market it as beginner, its marketed as a team board. One which all the riders (& I mean ALL) have a say in the shape.
