I am going out to the lake w/ a friend tommorow....I don't have my own board, i just use the stuff with who ever i go with...

Question....I am used to riding my friends HL Vero 141.....The person i am going with tommorow, has a HL Juvi 131.....What difference should i expect....I am not used to riding that small of a board...Obviously these boards r both the universal series, so nothin to unpredictable about either of them..And they should b the same overall...Just wondering about riding a board that is 10cm smaller than i am used to?...

MY STATS:
5'9
155lbs

Thanx...

It's going to feel alot less controlling and its going to feel quicker. It's not going to mess up your riding or anything, just a different feel when it comes to controlling the board.

Yup, Dave is right. It will feel faster and more responsive (and less forgiving).

actually, i used the HL juvi for 3 years and it had the most control out of any board i've ever ridden. then i changed to the absolute plat and it was the total opposite. You will have a much smoother ride witht the juvi.

shouldnt it be slower cause he is used a bigger board and this one will drag more? i could be wrong

oops, my bad i thought you were talking about the control of the two boards. The bigger board will have more control because theres more surface area to plane. I was just pointing out that in my experience the juvi is a very in control board, but i did not realize he was asking about the control with different size boards. you r right hyperrider,
