Here's a clip of one of the first surfs I had on my 8'1" Ghost Up...

Yeah nice one casso ,I can see the tail working on this board ,it just stays in gauged with the wave ,loved the placid because of this ,it was a shame the placid was so slow .it looks easy to surf and throw around . great surfing of course Andrew .


like the placid I think it is a tail ridden board ,

hope you don't have to wait too long Rick .

Sometimes you look at the lines on a board and just think F yeah, she's beautiful, she's gonna work.
Looks like there might even be a wave in the morning to get her wet, fingers crossed....

First session thoughts:
Waves were small, sand all wrong and too many people, but stuff it I had a go anyway.
First things first it's a really good looking board. Not totally sold on the deck pad but each to their own. I love the stained timber and it's nice and light. 8'10" x 30.5 x 128.5L is perfect for me and I found it really comfortable. Most of the board was under water with the deck high and dry, which is just how I like it. Just enough nose kick to avoid pearling. I got on to one decent beachy and I could feel how she'd love a steep face, beautiful drawn out bottom turn. I'll have another go tomorrow, but one thing that I can honestly say is that this is the easiest board I've had of this shape to paddle on to a wave. Seriously. Most of the stuff I was surfing was 1 to 2 foot and I didn't miss one. Look forward to some solid swell, fingers crossed.
