    Its really surprising the difference the Tubbies make aye?

    My ski is alot easier to slide around and to spin out on, especially when you dont want it to!! but with Droughtys it just hangs on! Really cool in the surf and if you want to corner quickly.

    I think the placement is quite critical with the Tubbies though? The height at which they are positioned makes a big difference to the point at which they start to work!
    Roger has his really high on the hull where as Droughtys are positioned flush with the bottom of the hull and they are totally different to ride.

    I read an article about them a lil while back and they were saying the heights are important if you are freeriding or racing. I cant remember what way round it was but having them high or low make the world of difference. Maybe try the blowsion site for more info?
