Got in an evening session after work - sometimes just swimming around in the ocean after a long day at work is good to wash off the work day.
The tide was dropping and the waves were about waist high. The wind was up and down, and it did have more North in it. There was a winger out in front of Campgrounds - they looked to be powered up and on foil.
I brought out the Boogie Fish! I placed the True Ames Hess Noriega keels.
This board is different than the other boards I've been using lately. The end result is this board is really skatey (compared the more drivey feel I get from the Sweet Potato). This is especially noticable when completing a top turn and redirecting - slides a bit more at the end of the turn. This is likely due to the bottom deck elements - some spiral V and concaves that have an edge on the rail side of the feature.
I think the best way to describe this is "fun"
It did seem like it wanted more energy to open up and run. The waves today did not have that much energy behind them, and it was good to find the low end of this board's range. Going forward through the week, the waves are supposed to pick up. What a convenient excuse to keep using this board!
