Just curious, how do you decide when to use your creek and when to grab the speeed?
Good question. I used the Speeed for the first few sessions of the trip because it was pretty solid and I wasn't terribly surf fit (due to busy times at work). The extra couple of litres made it easier to paddle and more stable. After I'd warmed up and got my surf legs back, I switched to the Creek which was good because it coincided with some more high performance waves (better for the pulled in nose of the Creek). Then towards the end of the trip I switched back to the Speeed because I wanted something easier/more comfortable due to being so sore and tired from surfing 8 hours a day.
So, in general:
- Speeed for when it's bigger, fatter, choppier or I want to take it a bit easier with trying to balance.
- Creek for when it's suckier, more rippable, cleaner or I want to go a bit more high performance.
