7’4 practice

Surf: Small, clean, and a little peaky. WNW 6.9 ft @ 12.9 sec

The winter swells have been swinging wildly from huge to teeny. The buoys were looking medium-ish so I pulled out the 7’4 for more practice.

Rolling up to the beach…it was nearly flat. Crap. I put my doubts aside and paddled out.

While today would have been pretty fun on a log, it was still fun on the 7’4. I got a handfull of waves and several successful dives. Yay! No wobbling!

I still need plenty of work, but I’m satisfied.

I’m actually a little surprised this narrow 7’4 is working better for me that the 7’0 stub. While narrow, it’s really full out to the rails and a little thicker than my 7′. The extra rocker is probably helping in Linda Mar closeouts. Either way, having fun figuring it out!
