As much as I want to :P , I can't find an argument against Shawn's point...I like a smaller board in higher winds too, why wear a garage door on your feet when you can strap on a piece of driftwood and have better control, higher boosting, less resistance, etc.
I only use my Magic Carpet when I HAVE to...but I know NOTHING about these 2 boards you guys are talking about so I'll just shut up!
