I think somebody said something before about it being hard to mount without the sides. Believe it or not, it's actually easier because you can side mount it with ease and recover easier when you get your ass end burried in a wave. I still haven't found any drawbacks to this set-up yet...still diggin' it! Just a little more info in case someone was wondering. :afro:
