Post-session

A-framer alone for about half an hour (total: 1.75 hrs.). At first I was enthused and amped because there was actually some rideable, albeit mushy and sloppy, bowl-ages coming in and because I had it to myself. But after the euphoria wore off, I was bored. It got junker, as the waves got inconsistent and smaller. It got really sloppy too--worse than earlier. And then it got crowded.

I've been using the Vector II 437s, and I can finally say they are awesome. It took some time to get used to them. I can't describe why they work well. All I can tell you is that I love them.

Well, let me try. They have a lot of drive. They have exceptional release. Seems like they allow more for the performance of the board to be realized instead of being a mitigating, or intervening, factor. I can put my board more fully on the rail, and it's very easy to do controlled fins-out or tail-slides.
