Marlon caught a bunch - he had 3 before I got my first.
I got a bunch of really long rides. With this tail wing, there is a higher degree of instability on the roll axis so the turns take a little bit more effort to start and staying upright on the straights takes a some conscious thought.
On one of the next surf sessions, I'll bring the Kai tail and do a direct comparison. I think the turns are easier on the Kai, but running the walls is definitely faster and pumping back is easier. Not really better - just different in a fun way. This front wing even works with small, unbroken waves - like the Maliko 200 - but it flows through the water way more efficiently.
The first real South Pacific swell is making its way to us. I think I'm going to be torn between foiling and surfing - the Stubby got its last coat of urethane this afternoon so I'll wax that board up tomorrow. This weekend should be good for surf.
