went in twice at the local beachy, the Hot Log both times, but in arvo I switched from that 9.5" dolphin to a 9.5" hatchet. The hatchedt gave me more grab on the nose rides, but it wasn't enough to justify the reduced sharpness in the turns and speed on the drops, so I'm going back to the dolphin.
That Hot Log ticks a lot more boxes than I thought it would, I never thought it would take a drop as well as it does, I only missed one all day and that was really only due to me paddling way too straight
Don't you love it when a plan comes together, glad it's working for ya mate, I'm stoked with mine too, a lot more versatile than it deserves to be given it's a log.
