We had some small little E swell late last evening and early this morning. 2-3 ft and pretty clean You had to be selective when the sets rolled thru due to the sand bottom was shallow so most of the waves dumped. If you caught the peaky shoulder you had some open face to work with. The 8-10 was stable for my husky frame,the narrow pulled in tail allowed the board to be very was maneuverable but the wide nose allowed for stability. I was able to gain speed in the turns so it seems fast on the wave face. More sessions will tell. Always fun ...
