Spank My Wookie

I finally picked up the long awaited for Fish from Mollusk. First impressions were, what a nice looking board! Quad fin, 6'9", thick and floaty, pin lines and coke bottle green resin tint! I hope i don't ding it. I was dying to take it out that same day, but I was pretty surfed out from an afternoon session at SC.

Next morning, I took it out to good ol LM for a test run. I didn't have much time so we took a dip at the north end where there weren't that many crowds. I thought that I wouldn't be able to paddle it, but with my recent acquisition of the egg, I had gotten a feel of a shorter board. This one was surprisingly floatier than the egg. I even was able to get into a few waves. Man that thing is sensitive. Flick it just a little bit, and you have gotten it turned left, or right.

I took off on some pretty crappy waves. No shoulder, nothing to really work with. I did manage to bottom turn on one and I find my trailing arm to be way up in the air. Not sure if that is a byproduct of bad habits or just my natural reaction to the board.

All in all, I am really happy to be on this! I will need some time to get to know the fish. Hopefully, before the first fall swell start to roll in.
