A couple of years ago I asked you guys for oplnions on a short board for lakes. Well I bought the starboard wedge 8.0 because it fit in my truck box.I am now a 155 pounds and I love using this on the lakes. I have other boards but this seems to be my favorite. Thanks for the help

Nice.. Might be worth using a big (9") fin to help with tracking because most short boards yaw a lot with each paddle stroke.. I use the FCS tool-less click in type.

Yes thanks. I use a 9 inch touring fin with no side fins ( on the lake) Its not too bad.Something I dont here talked about a lot is if there is a current or wind sometimes you can paddle on one side all day long.
