HOW TO : choose your board part 5 !!!

How to choose your board ? – The Scoop :
We need to be vigilant with the scoop line (the banana) of SUPs. It is indeed not uncommon to see scoops absolutely ineffective.
Often the initial ideas are good but sometimes they drift. For example, it is not uncommon to see SUP boards with a large spatula before. The theoretical function is to better passing through the waves. It is a mistake. Too much scoop in front provides a more vertical surface to the wave and therefore more grip. The board will therefore crash into the wave.
Good ideas pushed too far often lead to serious mistakes.
A scoop must be harmonious and especially in connection with all the other parameters of the shape. Advisor : Patrice Guénolé et GONG Surfboards. Source : GONG SUP Staff, we share that we know.
