Took it out in baja today just to try it out. Not necessarily a gun day but wanted to get the feel of her, only about head high on the best sets. The board worked great, can't wait for big stuff. My bud took some low resolution video:

Looks like the board scared off all the other surfers.

LOL, yeah we hit it right after it was stormy and ugly up in San Diego. We surfed alone for 3 hours the 1st session, with a boogieboarder for the 2nd, and he was afraid of us LOL

Baja has it's advantages...

You won't loose that board in the whitewater. It's great to have someone willing to stay on the beach and take videos
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Yeah, I took the video in the morning. My bud is nursing a shoulder and sat out the afternoon go out and took that video. However, I had to reduce the resolution in the afternoon because I was running out of memory, wish I hadn't LOL

Here is the entire session, but I'm doing all the taping in the morning...

looks fun not too crowded and big enough to make some turns.
