Tuesday didn't work too well with my Carve, bit out of control. So went out to buy a new fin, but ended up with a new board! An old Carbon Art wave, 80 litre. Absolutely brilliant board!

Initially I had a hard time getting on the board, just not enough wind. But after 15 min or so, the windn really started blowing.

So easy to control, so easy to be in control, fin grips immediately after a chop hop, what a fun. Never the feeling that things went too fast.

One of my best experiences so far. I'm in love with wave boards.
