Re: Lieuwe shotgun beginner
I started with a Naish Motion then bought a Select SLS because I thought it was great for my progression to spend more bucks.
One Year later Im using my Select SLS only in low wind. It has, in comparison to the Motion, no rocker and is very stiff. Landings are harder, it turns not that well (feels like glued to flat water) but is fast as hell and rides upwind like magic. Motion is a real fun board, but you need a m² more in lowwinds.
Both 138, I'm 88kg.
