So far with 4 sesions on new boat quite happy. It does surf better listed but you dont have to list it alot. Just slightly mor weight and adjust tabs. I have ordered some lead and am looking forward to trying it out with that and more people for weight. The sword on back does a good job of lengthining surfable wave. You just have to find the sweet spot for setting as to longer you get it takes away some push. I think more ballast will help this. I really like the new design of the drivers area and the squared off bow vs picklefork. I will be in sandpoint idaho next week and will experiment a ton and let you guys know what works and doesnt.
