Hey mick, had only one on this one, but had 5 or 6 surfs on the other one. It's a different feel altogether. I feel so comfortable on my 9'6 but surfing this is unbelievable. It makes it through sections I never get through on my 9'6. It's fast and flighty, completely different feel. Am quickly becoming addicted to it and feel like the 9'6 won't be seeing much water time
