Light boards are twitchy , thats why wood core decks feel better to ride than foam cores ,Hi Dave,
It's about power/weight ratio and weight/stability ratio.
I figure with a slalom deck the lighter the better for turning through the cones,
lighter means the setup has less inertia, so its easier to change its direction.
Power/Weight/stability with a speed/downhill deck.
Big and heavy sticks to the road, what happens when you start making them lighter and lighter?
Is there a minimum weight needed to rettain stability? Picture a offshore jet boat flippin.
(or do i just eat another pie to make the weight up? will there be handicapping at Newtons based on my weight).
Wayne.
light decks feel quicker when pushing but whether the feeling translates to actual speed is
6 of one 1/2 a dozen of the other so to speak , I will make foam core pans but would not ride one myself
while others would do the opposite -

I reckon deck weight isn't that important, except for ease of carrying. I weigh 80kg, and the deck weighs approx 1kg. Does it really matter whether it weighs 0.9kg or 1.1kg?

bugs short answer = no
All board have different riding characteristics ,as do riders . The trick isnt having a lighter or heavier set up ,its about feeling comfortable and knowing your setup (board) and what its can do !
one person will love an active twitchy board that is light with plenty of front wedge ,While the next rider may be riding a flat heavy board with a smoother radius turn .
When ever you get a chance to ride other peoples boards take it ,the more boards you get to feel the more you can understand what YOU like ! -
