If I replace the rear 650 bags with 1100 bags, will that get me something?

(btw, what is "IBS"?)

Thanks!

Also to note the Broadcast is a Slower heavier board, this is why its such a great beginner board. I personally havnt rode it but i have the Ride Board in my quiver and i cant surf it unless i remove the rear center fin to speed the board up.

Yes 1100 in the rear will help tremendously if your not running a lot of nose weight. It will make the wave steeper giving it more push or power but it wont help the pocket length.

IBS integrated bow sack for under your bow seats.

Personally i cant say for sure, as i haven't surfed my idea in my theory yet. Next time we go out <hopefully> this next week we are going to take the 1100 out of the rear and add the 650 back and weight the nose to 1500 and see how it surfs. With my visual testing the wave is much nicer with only a 650 in the rear and a heavy nose but like i said i haven't surfed it yet. If its a stellar set up ill be posting TONS of pics and video to prove this point, but as of right now i cant say its better at all.
