Rod,

It has been flat,flat, flat here.
I have the 44" set up with 2" turbo side bites and 3" center set way back. It worked OK in slop, but I haven't had it out in real surf. Ideally, I would have a board caddy and water videoman to facilitate board swapping and documentation.

I think it's going to work well in decent surf.

I think so, too. That is also what I mentioned to Austin -- about both the surf and how it will work in decent surf.
