Post-session
It's slightly over-head at the biggest. Went out to the A-framer. It was crossed-up and section-y. Looked like my regular spot and the Right-hander were better, but they were crowded. Conditions were pretty good with calm-light SE winds.
My board works unreal with the Vector II 437s. I mean, really awesomely. Feels like I'm surfing only the board--that's the only way I can describe it--which is something I could discover only by stepping away from the regular Vectors. Prior, I had no way of knowing that the other templates were, in a sense, interfering or mitigating the performance of my board. In other words, I was trapped by them, and the only way I could see that is by actually leaving them and stepping into the world created by the IIs.
And what a wonderful world it is. My board seems to be able to even catch waves more easily, and it's more resistant to digging a rail or pearling. Not to mention that it's faster down-the-line. It also throws tons of water. But it's most remarkable characteristic is how it allows me to slice off-the-top in the pocket. It's mind-blowing.
