Post-session
Small and sloppy but fun. Initially, light onshore and no sets, then wind more east with surge of waves, then onshore and nothing again.
Please indulge me. The reason I enjoyed myself was because of my new board. It works nuts. I know I've been saying this with each one I get, but this model is the best I've had so far from anyone. Since I finally got the hang of it, I can't tell you enough how well it's been performing.
It does everything my F6 did and better. It catches waves more easily (because, I think, I have to move up closer to the nose when paddling), and it's super fast (down the line and around sections); it gouges with huge spray; it pivots quickly and crisply without the fins losing contact even in the steepest areas; it effortlessly climbs the foam and lip (even with steps/bumps/chop in the face); and it's very resistant to pearling. It makes me feel comfortable and confident. I love this frickin' board.
