Been on a JP 7 4 for a little while ,due to one thing or another have only had about a dozen surfs on it , out of those a couple with real smooth conditions . Was all good on good days but with a bit of water moving around ie back wash , rips ,or chop Im spending a lot of my time on my knees which isnt ideal . On a wave I love it , it surfs like a shortboard .
So a question how long should one give it before letting panic set in , and or would stepping back up to the 8 2 version be a cure all having an extra 5 litres of volume
