My son and I own Carveboards and I would say that it gives you the rhythm of linked turns with a "soft floating" type turn, like you would get in 6" of powder. Air pressure and board flex play a big role in the feel of the ride, and you want to keep your speed in check to avoid speed wobble. I weigh 210 and ride a 9 ply and my son Cody at 160 rides a 7 ply. You can't get too aggressive on one but on the right incline with the right air pressure they are fun. I don't ride much anymore because pavement doesn't give like Utah powder. Water looks soft, maybe I'll try surfing.
