I usually get a couple new boards in the winter and try them out in January or February down in Miami. This year I didn't go surfing until last weekend.
I over the last couple years I have been digging on Soulcraft. I have a few great boards from them. I was excited when they came out with the Super Fang and their own carbon fins. I think I was the first to order that board when it dropped last year.
I also got a new board from Pure Wakesurf. I got to demo a couple of their prototypes last year and their pointed nose board was a lot of fun. I got the first revised production P1 last week. I had been waiting months for it to be released.
Sunday was beautiful and we got on the lake before a lot of the boat traffic came.
I rode the Super Fang and immediately thought it was off. It didn't turn like some of my other Soulcraft. I only tried it with their carbon fins. Most of the time I prefer my Futures Blackstix. I'll have to try it again with the Blackstix.
The P1 from Pure Wakesurf came with their own fins made by 3D. I had not tried their fins before. They are bigger than I usually ride, but the prototype rode better on Futures Machados than my Blackstix. Maybe these boards need a bigger fin.
Anyway, the P1 was super fast, quick and forgiving. It was like a combination of my favorite Soulcraft boards into one board.
I only got a couple sessions on it, but excited to get more time on my new favorite board.
What did you guys get and try for this season?
