    Anyone ridden a MOTE Fiji?

    Still loving my 6'6. Especially here when the water is moving around and the banks are further out.

    *** Official Fin Thread ***

    My Bottom Feeder which this is replacing uses Powerbase XL Fronts and L Rears. For stubby thrusters Merrick fins are my go to.

    Black Friday 2022

    I just ordered a Performance Glider from HS based on a glimpse I saw of an instagram clip. Im hoping it will finally replace my old Bottom Feeder at the exact same dimensions (-.5 inch width).

    First surf on Utopia. Decent HH conditions on a little rip bowl. Paddles well and catches waves easily enough. Got one nice wave on my backhand and it felt fast and solid. Got a nice wrap in there. Got a few closeouts and bigger ones that ran off. Once nice one on my forehand at the end. Feels...

    First surf since ear tube surgery. Wore the surfears, hope they keep water out and infections away. Put on a bit of weight in the last 6 months, luckily all muscle - I joined a CrossFit gym while on surfing hiatus. Waves were HH, clean but banks were pretty terrible with an outside section...

    Ear plugged

    Stubby Shortboard

    Went and felt a few boards up. Ghost and Inferno didn't do a great deal for me. Ended up really liking the feeling of the Little Wing I fondled from Lost. Also loved a little Synthetic 84 from T.Patterson I picked up but can't find much info on it.

    Stubby Shortboard

    Sweet that’s some good feedback. I’m on east coast OZ so Stamps and Stretch and some of the US shapers are out of the equation. doesn’t sound like I can go wrong with any of them. It’s probably more like waste high + anyway I’m after, sometimes we get really punchy little swells which are fun...

    Would totally get a Stamps if I could. When I come over that way next year I might put in an order. DHD Utopia on the radar now too.
