I can surf other boards
At the beginning of last year, when I embarked on this journey of surfing, I decided to get a 9 foot performance longboard. Well, actually, I just needed a back up board and didn't what the hell I was looking for. So for a long time, I ended up hating the board because I cannot paddle it, cannot get into waves, and just sucked ass.
Today I finally decided to give that board another shot. It still feels light, and a little more sluggish than m regular log, but the difference is that today, I got into waves with it and it didn't feel all the foreign anymore.
I had both my boards with me today. My brother took the Hynson at first and then we switched mid-session. The rides I got were not that spectacular, but I got into the ones I wanted and didn't get frustrated. Now I just need to practice more on it and start to have fun!
I guess you can call that progress?!!!! I'll probably take it out again tomorrow. Maybe get into a few more waves.
