You can further reduce speed by carving and air braking with this technique. This is the slowest way to stop a skateboard and will obviously not save you in an emergency braking situation. 2) The second method is foot braking.
A surfboard that is 10% lighter will float 10% better, but this is only when no one is on the board. The 10% increase is reduced to less than 1% when anyone over 100 lbs. is put on the surfboard.Example: 10 lb. board minus 10% = 9 lb. bigger board will catch a wave before it gets steep, and build up speed more gradually, (as the wave gets steeper) thereby feeling slower. Most of the design features which are associated with a fast board are actually for control at high speed (narrow outline, more rocker, etc.).
