sweet p limit

Hey just wondering what the largest surf you sweet p guys have been out in that the board has still performed well in?

Hi Suncoastslop, Remember the swell over easter? I surfed mine on high tide beachies a couple of those days which would have been head high plus. I frothed about it in a post on here somewhere. It was so much fun and i seriously believe that on one backhand wave i went the fastest i have ever been on a surfboard in my life. I use futures controller fins which are a big fin and would have helped that day for sure.

Jam71 yup i remember, remember watching it on coastalwatch from work....spewing, good info though is it a complete pig in any thing other then high tide or is it still manageable ?

I rode a RP 6'2" in 8 foot Beacons north of San Diego. It was a demo and I thought it was going to be a complete disaster as I had never ridden such a weird little thing in a good sized swell.

The board was amazing. Never lost an edge, never slid out and the speed, my god the speed!!!

I had so much speed and rail to rail control that I could literally go anywhere on the wave I wanted. Huge figure 8 round houses were a breeze and when doing a floater I had so much drive I shot out of the water and flew farther than I have since I was a 14 year old light weight.

Of coarse the 6'2" is too big for the little stuff it was created for, but it was a great board for that day.

agreed with above, you can ride it in pretty good sized surf (head high plus), but it is probably too fast.

Suncoastslop, as the guys mentioned they don't spin out but they absolutely fly which could be an issue i guess. There is plenty of rail line so you can jam them forcefully. I prefer mine in fatter waves but others may differ.

Agreed here, on fatter waves this board excels. The steeper it gets the trickier. The flatter rocker and thicker tail makes it quite challenging on vertical surfing
