What are most of you running for freestyle?
FWIW - I've tried many different ride plates on my RN SJ and really like the Jet-Dynamics short plate(Model "D"). Its the best all around plate I have found.
One ride plate may not be right for another rider because of weight, height, arm length, pole length, foothold brand/placement, etc. You just gotta experiment with various ones and lengths IMO.
I think d-cut is more for the surf, I ride flatwater that's why I like the stock
OEM D-cuts turn better???
Interesting! Stock plate does not turn - it just slides...if you don't work it well...
