Spence and Paul,

2-3 ft. waves today at "A" Beach on my new 8'8''.

Yes, Paul, the fin at 12" was hard to paddle straight and pearled. I moved it back to 10 1/2" up (1/2" fwd. of the first position) and got some good waves. Didn't seem to have the same drive, but it may have been the difference in conditions and spots.  It still feels sticky on turn backs, so I'll move it to 11" Saturday when I surf again. I've got to say, it's getting me in the water!

I tried a sideways takeoff a couple of times and almost made them, something impossible on a thruster. I used to do them on my single fins, made about 30%.
Thanks again, both of you!

George
