My $.02 on the side to side transition….
Are there really that many riders that want to switch surf sides during their session? That could certainly be the case, I just have not experienced it, I have plenty of people that ride regular and/or goofy but have yet to have anyone request switching sides while behind the boat….
Now, if they do, I would have to adjust the settings in addition to just flipping the switch for sure, but if they are good enough to transition to the other side they are good enough to deal with it for the 10-15 seconds it would likely take to clean up…..
