The south swell continued,
The waves were smaller today but this was enough.
The ROCKET is currently being tested with the Word 5 fin, quad and quad fin back fins.
I tried riding with a tri-fin set on the center fin.
Quads are thicker and the rails lean more easily on the slope of the waves, without the board getting caught.
The turns are smooth and it's easy to pick up speed on the upswing.
The tri-fin setup with a smaller center fin made the turn at the top looser and the board turned over more easily.
Since the movement is centered around the tail, the lip action causes the board to move at a sharp angle.
See the wax being applied to the traction in this photo?
Applying wax to the traction pads will increase grip.
That sudden slippage will be reduced.
Kelly and many other skilled riders apply wax to their traction.
Of course, I also applied top wax to the ROCKET I rode today.
Please give it a try!
