I will let you know first thing in the morning. I am going out no matter what the surf is. It was like a lake today. It is suppose to start building tomorrow. I am going out come hell or high water in the morning. If I only get to paddle I will have a :D on my face but I really hope for something above the knee.

Knee high and + on some waves this morning. I had the best session I have ever had :D

Wow does this board paddle and turn easy. The first couple of waves(right handers) I paddled for my board kept trying to turn right as I was just catching the wave. I could not figure out what the hell was going on. I thought maybe the sidebites were doing that. Well I figured out finally that my body was not exactly centered on the board and this board turns so easy thatjust my weight a little to the right made it turn right. Once I got that out of the way my first paddle and wave caught I was up and riding. :) I had a blast.

Perfect man. One of my boards is similar size and shape and I ride it 90% of time from knee slappers to head high.

Most excellent looking board. You should give it a go without the side bites to see how it rides.

You might be pleasantly surprised!

I got real busy last week and only had it out that one time. I got out a little bit yesterday and had fun. Yeah I think I am going to take the side bites off after the next couple times out and see what I think. When I take them off should I stay with the 9" fin? My Infinity has a 10" fin I could put in if it would be better.

Just a couple weeks ago I switched my 9" fin out for my old 10". I really cant tell any difference.
