Rising swell and only 1 1/2 hours to test it due to fatherhood responsabilities of real life. This board define stability and scream for ocean power. A slight decrease in volume results in easy duckdive and more performance. Awesome paddling even with more rocker and locking on wave without effort. Adding the Nubster fin was an asset, more drive, stability and mantaining quad speed. I will use this board for chest and up waves. Thumbs up for MHL. Enjoy the ride!
After my last mind proyect executed by Greg Jaudon and Nick Leason from MHL which ended in a magic quad fish, next proyect was obvious. Adding 2 inches of length , narrowing tail and nose, more rocker, round tail for more hold will increase range in ocean conditions. After been more exposed to computer designs, technology is the Holy Grail. Now I have an ideal volume (33.7 L) defined and flotation will never be an issue. Rocker also can be varied with matematical definition. Remember that the shaper fine tune makes the difference. The best of 2 worlds. EPS/Epoxy combination for known longevity, lightness and enviromental benefits. Blue rails, black pin lines, 5 fin boxes and superb glassing this week. Enjoy the ride!
