Surf: 5.9 ft at 12.9 s from the WNW at 292\u00c2\u00b0. Outgoing tide. South Wind.<\/p>\n

I had the chance to take out Chris’s 9’6 Bing Gold Standard.<\/p>\n

The south winds were blowing and there were a few waves out there so it was worth paddling out into light rain showers.<\/p>\n

I’ve ridden that Bing before, but I think this is the first time\u00c2\u00a0since I got my Ashley. It’s only an inch longer, but the thing is heavier than my Ashley and the rails are pretty different. I paired it in with an 11′ fin with very little rake. The first wave I caught I though “oh man, this beast isn’t going to turn for anything!” Thankfully after a few more waves, it started to feel a little more natural.<\/p>\n

It still sort of felt like the first draw wall all the board, then once I was through the top turn, I could steer again. I got going pretty fast with all that weight and walked way up the board. Navigating the crowd was a challenge, but overall pretty fun. Lots of steely grey landscape to stare at waiting for waves. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
