It is nothing like a finned board, super loose and slides a lot with weight forward but seems to hold really well once you lean on your back foot. Weight distribution changes the entire characteristic of the ride, whereas my Agave (almost) finless seems to be much more linear in performance. By that I mean the distribution of weight seems to be less critical than with the channeled board, i.e. you can spin it whether your weight is forward or back. This also makes me a little bit worse of a neutral judge, since I've been riding minimal fins for a while. One thing that it has in common with all the other Ventana boards: It Hauls A$$!

Good work my friend. Is it ideal for busting your signature 360 tail spins or is it more modified for generating speed off the bottom turn?. 6'1...right on. How would you describe the difference the difference/feeling between thrusters compared with the channel Frankenboard; or to a single fin for that matter I can't wait to buy my 3rd Ventana.
