@Bman76 - sh!t, didn't know the story. What's the TL;DR of the book? Did he stack it on a wave and can't surf anymore or something?
Yeah - he kinda leapt backwards off a wave as it shut down and hit his head on the reef. Lovely guy; have ordered a few boards through Zink (his surf shop). And plenty of of his brother's boards in the shop too.

I wonder if the lack of drive has to do with the tech? I rode a lost puddle jumper in similar tech and found it to be the slowest board I've ever ridden - and I've been on some dogs over my thirty years. It was marginally better with MR twin plus trailer, but by then i hated the board so much i was glad to sell it at a heavily discounted price and curse some other poor bastard.
increased flex means increased rocker...less to push off of. never liked boards withintentional extra flex
