Woohoo the SW'lies are back! I left BH w/e family duties slightly earlier
than planned to make sure I was home in time for a Shoreham evening
session. Today was all about trying out the 3-finned Witchcraft as part of
my quest to find the perfect waveboard to replace my Quatro. I met up with
Bill who had had it on demo previously and after a few warm up runs on the
Quatro I nabbed it off him. Hmmm very different...took quite a long time to
get used to, but after I'd worked out how to gybe it properly I found out
that it carved round and stayed on the plane beautifully, and then on the
wave...wowser wowser!!! On the couple of top turns that I timed well the
speed that the board picked up was incredible - like someone giving you a
kick up the arse off the wave! Much more exciting than any other
wave-riding board I've tried, and left me thinking how good must this board
be in proper dtl???
So food for thought wrt which waveboard to buy (maybe this one???). All in
all a quality session on the new board well powered for most of it by the
5.2 in some half-decent waves (by usual Shoreham standards).
