Got a spot booked for next month. Always said I would rather spend the same amount and go somewhere like Salina Cruz but with a 2 & 3 year old and demanding work schedule I haven't found the time for a week long surf trip in the last 3 years. Figured I would condense the surf trip into a handful of 40 second long waves at the pool.
Everyone says to ride flat and fast step down epoxies but I've always loved the feel of a HPSB more when the wave permits. On Step downs I have to kind of nurse turns a bit and have to get balance between turns whereas on a traditional shortboard I can go top to bottom with little concern of sliding out and bogging/ falling. Was thinking OG Flyer Spinetek to start then maybe switching to a 6'1 Happy if the waves seem big and juicy enough. Anybody have any experience?
