I would suggest a drop through over a dropped. The low hammocky feeling of a dropped won't be fun to cruise around on. Both provide a more drifty feel for slides, but in the end, you can topmount your dropped though board and have more fun carving around.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
