Reno ... The Early Years

 

 

More From Florian ...

 

Hi Paul,

I got my 9.75 Greenough/Wilderness fin back with the ball bearings installed. They charge $12 a fin and the turnaround is super quick.

The cool thing is now that I can now instantly change fin position in the water without any tools!

Where The Street Have No Names...Yet

 
If you live in So Cal, you're probably up to speed on this, but here's an update anyway...

Florian V Update ...

 

Surfed the V bottom today at c street 2-3' , pretty clean conditions, with the wilderness 9.25' up.

It went pretty well except it felt almost a little too far back, I was definitely standing and turning farther back. I have to spend some more time on it.

Halfway through the session I switched to the 10' velzy fin at 10" up (bottom pic)

It went pretty well too but maybe a tad less drive than the wilderness.

Next time I will try the wilderness at around 9 5/8" up.

All in all the board goes super fast, it takes off like a rocket and rides a little bit like an oversized stubby.

The big roll/vee makes it a little more difficult to ride, one has to be careful as not too overturn it but makes more than up for it with an exciting ride. I think secretly the boards with the most hull end up being my favorite boards...

Pretty stoked,
Florian
