You'll not regret a weasel. In fact, to every zagi you see in SoCal, you'll see 10 weasels. Just about every sloper from serious diehard to dabbler has one.

With any wing (zagi) or plank (weasel) you'll find that CG position is critical and elevator is extremely sensitive. You'll need dual rates and elevator expo is highly recommended.

Check out the 'other' message board which hosts a very large contingent of slopers from your area.
