All discussions of safety aside, leashless has a certain purity to it that is
fresh. Unlike prone though it's hard to grab the board with one hand if
you go down.

Ironically, I was SUPin Cardiff last week, leashless, on my new old-board, which is the best board I've ridden, when a guy on a sup let go of his brand new Kevlar Kings board and it hit me in the leg. (It also hit my board). His board was on a leash, attached to his calf. I felt like telling him to take his leash off so he wouldn't so easily let go of his board. But I didn't. It's all good.
headmount:
You bring that board over here? Looks unreal.
Cardiff Sweeper:
Thanks guys!
K2 Racing FCS fins
The center fin could be useful for well overhead conditions. But so far, these wide-base twins have plenty of hold coming off the bottom. They release much later than the GL-1's.
I ditched the center fin early in the summer. The board is a different animal without that anchor slowing it down. Quads? Too much drag.
Try it, you'll see what I'm talking about!
headmount, yes. Either this board, or the 8'0".
Both?

With the rougher surface conditions we have here, I'd say just go with the bigger one and save on the air cargo if that's an issue. Jan should be hopping. If the wind is up, you'll just have to DW with us but we should have a fair amount of glassy mornings. Even with glassy conditions there's a ton of water moving around when the surf's up. Can't imagine the small one in that. Even 8' sounds tiny and I haven't seen too many, except flyweights like Kai and Zane go even close to that small. No matter, there's lots to choose from here if you need anything different from what you bring. SOme of our spots have none steep take-offs that turn inside out on inner reef. I like the length for that but I'm just a beginner SUS.
cb super:
Cardiff, is that the 7'7 (2014?) Pro? Do you mind me asking your weight?
I ride most often a 7'8 now (7'8 x 29 x 4.25). Its very stable to me. Trying to decide between the Pro 7'7 or 8'0 for my next board.
I assume the benefits or the brushed carbon are worth it in your opinion?
I am 5'10, 170 - 175lbs.
I have a 7'3 x 31 x 4...105 liters (I am in North Carolina) for those mushy / choppy days we have here. The Air Born looks pretty interesting, but I'll tackle that (vs my current 7'3) for another conversation.
I sincerely apprciate your feedback. Being on the East Coast...we dont have any demo boards here (that I am aware of), so we just kind of have to wing it...(and they aint cheap)!
