I know to use C7 Carver trucks. But does the deck matter, eg length, turned up at nose etc. or can you go on what looks pretty when you buy it

Ok think I got it this time.

Two perspectives. Best stance I have been able to achieve so far on my backhand.

Back foot still an issue. Still getting used to booties

I really dislike nose diving so I try take off on an angle specially with my 61ltr board. This is the board Clayton made for me. Second time on the left.

I pause at the wrong time in my get up. Instead of pausing the superman. I pause during the cobra to adjust angle of board on wave.

2 questions : on take off I stick my butt out to the left in order to maintain the angle. Is this incorrect? 

Once on my feet I take a step forward with my front foot because I feel the nose of board is too high, but perhaps its in the air because my weight is on the back foot?

Any advice greatly appreciated.   - Libby

Si - I think you call it a double concave. Maria, I don't use wax. I hate it melting in the car and sticking to my wetsuit. The front black pad is just a rubber traction mat. The hexagon's are a type of grip and are called RS Pro. Do I slip on this. Sometimes but rarely, certainly not enough to send me back to the wax option.

Here's the board Clayton made for me. Tried it out for the first time today. Loved it! Can't wait to get to know it better. Dimensions 6'6", 21" x 2 3/4" 42ltrs. Thanks very much Clayton, I am so looking for to start Line 2. 

PS Turn around time? Felt quicker than I can make a ham sandwich.
