Potatonator for fresh water surfing?

Buddy enjoy it!!! I know you will. You are gonna trip on te rastas but give the controllers a try, fadt down the line ad on such conditions you might need to go through sections swiftly!

Just an update on how the board has fared thus far:

Had 1 short surf with it on the lake before if froze up. Had it out in gutless 1 ft conditions and it fared okay. I didn't really get a feel for it, but considering the air temp was -12ºc, the water temp was hovering around the 0ºc mark, and after 30 minutes I couldn't feel my hands or legs from the knee down i'm not counting that surf against the board.

Took the PN to the Caribbean for a 2 week surf trip and rode it exclusively. Had it in everything from 2 ft - 10 ft faces and it went pretty well. Used the rastas in the small stuff and found it super speedy, managed pretty well through the flats and I had tons of fun lining up laybacks on the end sections! Once the waves got a bit over head it struggled (obviously) but was still fun to ride. Having all that extra volume helped me get in stupid early and with the controllers I was able to get decent hold with a high line and score some tube time.

Biggest downside: Too much foam for the ocean. The board was a bitch to duck dive, and would bounce hard on choppy waves. I think a 5'6" or 5'8" would be choice for me in the ocean. In the lake a 6'0" would probably be a touch better, but I think this 6'2" will be great! Looking forward to the thaw and getting amongst it next season.
