I have seen this phrase used a number of times when reading replies to some NooB's request for board opinions. (...usually the afore mentioned NooB is thinking about buying some high end, high performance stick as their 1st board.) I was hoping to get some clarification on exactly what sort of issues / problems you are referring to when someone replies with, " The Board will Ride You"! I really haven't read an explanation for what that means exactly.
...and just so you know! I
am one of those NooB's that ran out & purchased a "High End" board after my second time out!!

. I'm somewhat curious to compare the details about those possible issues and see if my board has in fact, Been Riding Me!!
