How much different are stand ups in terms of riding? I’m pretty damn good on the sitdown kind, but never tried a stand up. ---

define “good on a sitdown” there’s not a lot you can do with it. I like to equate it like this: Sit Down = riding a harley in a parking lot Stand Up = riding a flatland BMX bike in a parking lot. Try this on a sit down boat: ---

this thing is awesome now. and stand ups are alot different than couchs. on sitdowns u just hit the gas and turn the bars. stand ups take more getting used to, but are 10x more fun ---

word. By good I mean I can hold my own, I’ve spent a ton of time out on big waves when storms are coming in on lake ontario and I’m able to keeping them upright and land correctly after long periods of flying. I have no frame of referance for what stand ups are like. ---
