I’m not talking decibels here, I had another great day on my new 10’ tufelite.

Yesterday in Sydney was just a disaster with dreadful on shore rubbish in the arvo. I completely missed the good stuff in the morning but today just suited it perfectly.

I can’t believe how things have changed for me in just 3 weekends. If the surf is right, I’ve gone from being the slug who sits out the back with his finger in his date and his brain in neutral, not able to catch a thing, to getting my share.

It’s great to be able to pull off manoeuvres you usually only dream of, admittedly I do them very slowly, but that’s still better than not at all.

I’m still hopeless at crossovers, sure I can move up near the nose most times, only problem is, I can’t seem to get back. Maybe that’ll change.

PS.I added a tail pad and block since last week and it seems to help but I think I put it about 2 inches too far back

One thing I noticed it that it seem to foul my rope a bit, it's nothing terminal, just a tad of an annoyance.

I suppose the only way to reposition them is to basically destroy them and buy a new one?
