What's working

I've been away from home on an extended vacation for awhile. It's so good to back in Ormond Beach and surfing again. My go to board is a foamy quad. It's suited to the conditions here. For me it's great to be back in the water and doing what I love.

Better ideas

I got to ride Ron's 9' board. It's very light (14 lbs) and worked good. I really like his construction methods and use of balsa wood. His board makes catching waves a little bit easier but, the ride is different. The board felt lively and similar to foam.
