Finally got a good wave ride on mine tonight. Between injury and life I just haven't got the time on it I would have thought I would've at this point. All I can say is awesome! Easy no lie 8 foot faces on the second break in our inlet. Got there late and rode till dark (still was 40 min or less) by myself. Thanks to specialFx for sticking around to watch/make sure I had no issues. Conclusion is my pole is too long and id like to change the foot pod, but the hull is spot on. Big bottom turns are awesome with the rail planted, quick lip turns with a little slide no problem just keep the bottom a little flayer when approaching the turn. I'm super satisfied with this thing. Keep in mind I thought I was building a flat water boat, what a surprise....
