Board Length vrs Rider Height

Hi

How did you determine the overall board length for Jacques and Patrices' E-boards?

There is 10 cm difference in rider height, but only 5 cm difference in board length.

Thanks
Rob

Very simple: make a lot of prototypes, test them, then choose which one you prefer.

More seriously, we are facing two opposite desires: we both want the perfect board, but we both want to make the same turns.
The first condition means that we need boards that are proportionnal to our respective sizes (10 cm difference), the second means that we need exactly the same board (same length)!

So here is the compromise: 5 cm difference.
