Board felt stiff. Have used this rocker off and on for a very long time. Can’t tell if it’s because the waves have been kinda bad and funky and lack down the line speed to loosen things up or because been surfing some high tail rocker boards for a bit. The blank felt extra strong as well, and a bit stiff on the flex, and those tiny variations you just gotta roll with.

So far it seems like a combo of all the above.

Hopefully get some decent waves soon on it to give it a chance. Or the board could get regulated to the bench , and surfed on junk days only for its remaining time. When that happens sometimes a specific board gets unfairly dismissed, and cut quickly out of the quiver.

So far only one sesh on it.
