Awesome!!

You are going to love that board. I was out today in Jupiter with on-side-on 10 kts with 3-4 ft waves, unfavourable current, and riding upwind no problem. Granted I weigh 155# and was using a 17m Waroo...but I was riding AND having fun. The only other person who had any luck today was John Modica riding a small surfboard.

Re: Fins - the big fins go in the center, small fins to the heelside. DO NOT put more fins on the board...that will probably just slow it down. If anything you could reduce fin size to loosen the board up, perhaps even lose the heelside fins altogether...go ahead and experiment, but don't drill any holes yet..

PS...I am borrowing this board from a friend/former student up North...now I hate to give it back

ENJOY...let us know how it works out for you!
