First Surf

Well, today I managed to get out into the water. The conditions were not ideal by any means, but I certainly managed to give the board a good runout. Here is what I learned:

This board is fast.
My popup is too lazy from riding a mini-mal.
This board is fast.
I can sit quite a bit deeper than I am used to.
This board is fast.
It will take off on almost anything.
This board is fast.
I need to be more disciplined with my foot positioning (front foot far enough forward)
This board is fast.
There is a big chunk of board missing at the rear!
I love it.

(Did I mention this board is fast).

I cannot wait to get out again in more consistent conditions and start to really learn what I can achieve with this board.

I took some photos at the beach this morning, but haven't had time to sort them out yet.
