Board: Starboard Trance 94 Sail: 5.2 S2 Dragon '20 Suit: shorty |
Back in a shorty suit in December, because I was overdressed yesterday and regretting the full suit. This has been an oddly warm and oddly NW wind winter so far. (Thanks to La Niña?) I wanted to practice skills from my lesson but never got settled in and comfortable. It was all gusts and holes. Borrowed Andy's fanatic freeskate 85 to try, and apparently I had the mast track in the wrong position and it needed to be all the way forward. I didn't work at all for me. I got to try his larger version of that board yesterday and last month, and I can't seem to get used to how squirrelly they feel. That's probably how freestyle boards are now and I'm just that far behind the times. |
