Also, 2nd today in the over 65s at the Alex Winter Classic.
Surf was the best it was all weekend. Friday was abysmal.
Today I got two good clean waves.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Any design or fin guru's know the theory behind the mini fins/nodules/nipples on Carissa Moore's board?

Extra foam is a revelation. Either that or this new shape is amazing.

Similar to vortex control winglets on aircraft wings.
An attempt to get more laminar flow off the tail, operating a little like channels.
Probably also gives her more feel for the tail, and lets her run smaller fins and get a bit looser. I heard some expert say a while back he thought most of the girls' boards were overfinned.

But honestly I'd say she's chasing shadows and it's a hologram bracelet situation, looking for confidence.
