yea my board was just straight up too stiff great for pop and hitting waves as kickers not good for going the distance. Yea my binding was angled wrong direction for sure. Yea my abs killed me from bring the board back under me i only took my feet out at delray and took a 15 min break because i couldnt feel them and i tweaked my knee so bad from hitting a wave wrong. It sucked I couldnt ride nearly as fast as I wanted to, but hell of a a good time for my first downwind race, now I know what to change. I ride the ocean very little mostly flat water.. I really noticed the difference in strategy it added about 30 mins plus when I decied it was a good idea to take the outside line and not the inside line through the surf really took too much time to be on hte outside.
