Wear skin tight lycra, air resistance is the killer.

I agree, speed it is the key..!

Just build up your experience and you'll be fine.

Hi Mate,

Wax Board = More Speed

Longer Board (Greater Surface Area) = More Speed

More Weight = More Speed

Flat Boarding = More Speed

Keep Low = More Speed

Quick Base (Newer Board, Better Base Construction) = More Speed

Anyone know if wider boards are harder on cat tracks than skinny boards.
I ride a nitro magnum with size 12 feet and feel im lagging behind my peers on icey and hardpack cat tracks.
I know cat tracks are the spawn of the devil anyway, but just feel theres something lacking with me and im starting to question my board.
The rest of my boarding is fine.
