This is my first board. I wanted something easy to paddle to catch weak hip-high- on/cross shore summer waves that had characteristics of a long board yet could fit in my small car. I didn’t want to shape something that I could easily buy!
I have surfed it once. It is obviously ‘corky’ yet seems to turn okay. IT seems to push/plough water and slows/stalls after take-off. Too muck rocker maybe? Too much drag in the rails??
Any feedback would be appreciated.
