Got the rarest bird in the water at morro for the de virginizing. 1-2 foot, slow, mushy surf with some nice, but short, sections here and there. First impressions, it is perfectly balanced. Requires no extra work or adjustment, the board is one big sweet spot for paddling and when I stood up it just clicked right in like an extension of my body. Super loose with the MR twins, but still drives and doesn't slide. Did not feel like an epoxy...good start. I want to switch it to a quad for worse waves and a thruster for faster waves to get a little more control over it, it feels like there is too much board behind the back fins for a 2+1, but I'm stoked on it and felt connected to it immediately. Haven't liked a board so much right away since my last Chilli, and even then... this could be my favorite board ever, time and more waves will tell.
