Really nice day today after a few days of strong devil winds...Less people than expected, but not too clueless about catching waves either. So I only managed just over an hour on the shorty before I switched to the good old CW whalebone for a couple of hours. Also had the new softboard in the car, so decided to take that out to see how it paddles in good waves. Went heaps better than expected, bottom turns, top turns, floaters no worries. But a bitch to duckdive & a bit flexy which probably helps it. Not much rocker when your paddling, but a bit more when your up & riding. Doubt it was made for 45yo 80kg guys lol But stoked it goes way better than expected...fun day
