hey Herb-- got out a River Jetty this am on my brand new Newporter and was able to get into the waves almost everytime with only two paddles- Kinda mushy between sets and closeouts on the sets–just a takeoff dropin and kickout-till my last wave which lined up steep and i got a nice noseride to the shoulder and a S turn that threw spray everywhere and got a nice long coverup ending up about 20’ to the beach–had to leave after that one and run to the golf course —but what a way to end a day–that board likes it steep–hauls ass and it does turn!!! Thanks Again Herb!!!

Thanks Again Herb!!!..Mike, I’m glad you like it.Your new board the “Newporter” is designed for a faster,steeper wave ,but your Newporter isn’t limited to those conditions.It will work in a myrid of waves. I should have caught up with you this morning,but opted for Silly Beach pier,and for my decision ,I just got cutoff alot by guys on boards with twice or 3x the volume of my board…go figure? ENJOY !!! YOU WERE VERY patient,and for that you got a GREAT BOARD !!! Herb.
