I’ve been really surprised by how much fun I’ve had on a 7’6 SPG Pegasus, super easy and fun to catch a variety of waves, small on the pp200, bigger on the pp140. I surfed it a few times in bigger surf and other than duck diving it is great, able to sit wider than the longboarders, and definitely able to get into waves earlier that would be tricky on a prone board. Way more versatile than I was expecting.
I run it with a small baseplate shim (back of bolts lift by 1mm, same as @J_L ) and I think this helps. I run far forward on the box.
The only thing that is no good is whitewater takeoffs, the tail gets pushed around and you get that tracking feeling.
Here is a video trying to get a shore run in sketchy cross onshore. I’d have been right on the rocks on a prone board, and that was the first wave in 10min that was standing up a bit wider. Definitely opened up the possibility with the board.
Also worth adding that with the longer board, the belly pumping from @allthefoils is really a game changer.
