I've had 2 surfs on the board now. the 9'6 is a terrific board but this 9'1 is a whole different kettle of fish.
surfs much tighter, more drive and more bang for you buck turning. it turns very hard for a 9'1 and doesn't wash off or not like being there.
you can take of drive it off the bottom and hook it off the top. I did that 3 times on one wave in very ordinary small conditions.
I get surprised but go to my self oh well keep doing and see what happens.
so far all good. mind you you still have to be smooth about it.
but really even on shor tboards while guys are smashing the reality they are still smooth and have good trim.
nobody gets anywhere bogging and catching rails
