Thanks, I love these "no breaking" waves

I had a krypt surf mat for 2 years, I loved it, the learning process was quite hard (that was the "side slipping" part I was referring to), but after a lot of sessions I was as confortable rinding the mat than my paipo or my bodyboard. Then the krypt mat was destroyed (my fault), I bought ...

Nice boards, interresting fins setup, 2 parralels longboard fins ?

A surfmat might be fun in these conditions, but if you don't like side slipping, forget it :lol: These waves remind me this vi...

"I did try an HPD paipo..." Never an HPD but made same outline out of plywood once. Seemed to me that the board required huge body position shifts so that my hip was always almost right on top of one rail or the other and hand on airborne rail used to drive the weighted rail into the wave...

If you try a finless board that is narrower and longer you will see that the inside rail actually behaves like a fin as l...
