Keen to hear your first impressions. I didn’t connect with it as expected on my first surf. I still have plenty of work to do trying different sets of fins and waves, so let’s see if I’m able to put it back on track. Mine is the XL version.
I snagged some Jordy Larges to go with it, so we'll see how it goes. I like AM2s in my Pyzalien2. Thinking I'll use it in chest-head high beach break. Mine is XL dims also but a little more beefed up.

I rode it with the CF Dane R. set and didn’t like it at all. Gonna try a more neutral template next time. il even venture with an Aipa twin plus trailer set after watching how enthusiastically Salas described how the board lighted up using a similar set :porcorn:

Some pics from bachelor party in Waco, so I guess a YOLO? There's no Waco thread.
I'm never going to Texas in July again. 100-105 degrees everyday and the pool was 94 degrees.
When you got 10 guys, everything is super affordable from staying on site at the Road House (sleeps 14, pool table, pool) to private sessions to hiring the onsite pro photographer. I highly recommend getting a big crew. So many laughs and group text is hilarious. Partied a bit, but nothing crazy. After surfing all day in 100 degree heat and eating BBQ, it's hard to rally when Baylor isn't in session no matter how much blow. Beers and joints then to bed.

5'4 Stretch Mr Buzz worked great with Controller quads.
Got a bunch of video too, trying to make a lil reel too.

The rumblings I heard from locals was that Doug Coors is going to open a Perfect Swell pool (same tech as Waco) in Austin.
Waco owners are tripping about it.

gettin her done Race!

wait, you've been there twice and I haven't surfed anywhere but home.


Fvck racer and his stupid chlorine pool fake waves
Bachelor party was a coincidence after I had gone the first time, so got to go twice.

Its probably gonna be a yearly or 2x yearly trip for me. I condensed it down to 3 day trip (leave Friday at 4pm and back home by Monday at 1pm). Surf 8+ hours in the pool, do 700 snaps in one weekend. I have a hook up on flights and accommodations that makes it very affordable, almost cheap actually. With a little one and another little one on the way, longer surf trips aren’t happening. My wife travels a lot for work so she likes me doing these trips (instead of longer ones).

As fun as it is, it’s an investment in your progress as well. I‘ve gotten noticeably better in the ocean after each trip. The ocean feels like it’s in slow motion and I’m at normal speed after each trip. The Waco wave is fast.
