Arnaud, What are the benefits to going with the 168 H instead of the 175 M? I'm assuming the sidecut radius of the shorter board would make it lay down tighter turns but the longer board would be more stable at high speeds and the extra width would allow me to run lower angles. Above all I want to p...
