I just picked this board up and I can't believe how fast it spins. Now if I can just keep it on the water I will be set. It seems pretty squirly and bouncy. I am used to riding finless and a big 3 stage but it is taking a bit to get this board dialed. Are most of you peeps riding this deck finless or with fins?

I ride my finless, coming from an Absolute Platinum (finless too). I'm not that good, but it doesn't feel squirly or bouncy to me. Maybe you should have gotten a size smaller. I'm 5'10" & 180lb. and ride the 138. This is my favorite board, hands down.

mine too, its a keeper. I also like the 03 byerly's quite a bit. the watson is a 138 and i am 6' 180 lbs. its been a little choppy every time i have ridden it so far.

That's probably it. I find that it's hard to keep an edge in choppy h2o.

Call me old school, but I ride mine with the fins and love it.

You ride the 42 Watson Ryan???? I have been on the Shane and have the team and the watson coming. I want a little more edge up the wake. I like the loose feel but need a good edge up the wake. I am 6'2 240.

Hey Joe,they meant center fin.Thanks for the obvious illustration.Jeeze.
Board should be ridden finless.I have ridden it in chop and it tracks better than other boards I have ridden in such conditions.
