Thanks. That's the V-9. I had an 8pro for a few years before it, and it was faster, on average, in those conditions. The 8P would use it's flatter rocker to glide just a bit longer, up to and thru those transitions. Both boats are stable enough for me to throw down a few hard strokes if necessary, up on top of the wobbly part of the wave intersection. The 9 is also far better at pivot turning at the last moment, down the face of a wave. Then turning out of that drop, to extend a glide. Super fun boat, very safe for me if the wind gets nasty and I have to go across the waves to get back to shore.

That’s a good one LPB!
Thanks Zach. I like how the Gopro 11 can lock the horizon.
Beautiful paddling! And what model ski is that?
