I imagine the weekend was good with the combo running. Still pumping up here today.

[Piggity]

U heading this way? Went to top of tram this past weekend and it's toast.

[Ottime]

Yeah. Your knee in play? Will be dropping the family at LegoLand Wed 4/8, and will be surfing, or at least beaching it, some where that day. Likely Trestles zone. Depending on swell, will grab at least another day of surf that week. Skis are staying at home.

Was there any snow at all in Long Valley? Or up higher? Or it is completely gone. Only will go up with my son if there is any snow around.

Had a great day back in the water after a couple months out. I really need to live next to waves again. But fins. Let's talk about fins.

Was looking for a bit more speed out of my short board which is a thruster, in mushier waves that we typically get on parts of the island during the summer. Obvious answer is to buy a quad, but I'd rather save the money and see if fins would make a difference. More speed, more drive out of my bottom turn to beat sections. Had small fins that were too small for me, but they came with the board when I bought it used a couple years ago. So bought some medium fins that go deeper in the water and have a longer base. Harder to release my tail on turns, but man does it have some kick out of a little pump action now. Fins make a pretty big difference. I had no idea.

^Powderwhore that first wave looks like supreme fun!

Atrain, have a shaper nearby? Depending on how your board is shaped, it may work well as a quad. Why not take it to your shaper and have two fin boxes put it?

[Atrain505]

I had that original thought and then it went through my head, the shaper designed it to be a thruster, probably shouldn't mess with it if the bottom concaves and all of that aren't designed for a quad. Perhaps I should though.

I'd keep playing with the fins. I've found the Solus to really change how my board moves. Great for smaller, weaker, lumpier surf.

ott - pm me when you're down this way. would love to try and meet up and surf if possible.

maybe get the weeknight San O BBQ/surf back up and running this summer PW?

The solus was an option from the local shop. Future's ride number 9 something. Figured I'd go in the middle of the futures ride number this time around. Knew I just wanted longer and longer base. So went with Jordy medium's as they were what was available at the shop that fit the criteria. Number 5.

Definitely will stick with playing with fins for the meantime. I guess I was quite surprised by how much of a difference fins make.
