Talking of the SL with hands tied...what I will say is the following:
1) The Garcia family has that goofy wave dialed!
2) Part of running it stock with autowake was proving a point on how awesome that wave is stock!
Personally if I were to buy any boat out there...it would be a 2018 or newer Supra SL...the finish coupled with the surf system technology, wave quality, and boat size is so darn good for me personally...that I would definitely make it happen if money wasn't an object in the equation!
As far as the boards go...some thoughts on boards i tried:
1) LibTech's - Not bad boards....but they are indestructible!
2) Zombie Boards were FAST!
3) I ended up buy a Soulcraft Secret Weapon after the event that I have yet to try...but should tell you what I thought of that board!
4) Tried a selection of BluSurf, Varials, HyperLite, Victoria Skims, etc....but what stuck out to me were the Zombie and Soulcraft boards!
