Seskelson,

I'm curious to your weight too but more interested to hear what it was about "the tune" you did not like...

What were those "Misbeahaven Chariots" doing to ya?

Using PMTS skills on big boards while indeed possible, the width of the board up on edge angle can really be a handful. For me as the boards get wider and the conditions are deeper, I utlize more of the base of the ski instead of long visits on high edge angles, the fat skis became more playful and co-operative. More or less, soft edges.

My experience with a variety of wider boards found that some when brought up on edge had what I'd call "Turbo Tug"....I had a hard time keeping the edged ski under my hips....that ski just wanted to shoot out from under me and pull away.

I'm thinking too if it was a ski that was "A.D.D SKI" ...the skis seemed to have a mind of their own and changed their mind all the time....I'm wondering if binding placement, ball of foot and all that were not placed correctly for you. For me my bad experiences were because the bindings were mounted  to far back on a ski making it difficult to engage the shovels.

I know I'm shooting blindly here but would be interested in what you actually experienced.

Thanks, G
