Don't want to appear cheeky, but I could not find any images of the top brands' SUP's with toes on the nose...
Have you?
Thanks

In my humble opinion I think dedicated nose riders should not be too light. We made a few carbon/honeycomb runways using 15kg/m3 blanks and I found them flighty and fun but once there was chop in the water they felt every bump and nose riding became a chore. For our 10 foot runway we ended up using a more solid blank and ran PVC deck and rail and reinforced the rails with silver carbon. Although these boards are dedicated nose riders they still turn on a dime. We just got some fun runners at Kirra and this board came into its own in small 1 - 2 foot waves. I'll post the clip soon once we finish it. Ultimate weight for me in these boards is around 9 - 10 kgs for a 10 foot nose rider. My original Takiyama is 8kgs and its 9'2. Hope this makes sense.

Hanging!

Still not hanging!
The whole point of this thread, was to get the toes over!!
