Yes we do need to ride. What to weekdays look like in the evenings?

I have this higher dollar Exo Board and Foil setup. Carbon, more high-tech, supports my weight of 230#. Supposed to be a good cruiser for 1st and 2nd wakes. Problem is, I CANNOT RIDE IT. Even my buddies that are good have a few issues getting up on it. They can ride it, but since they are not used to riding it, it takes them a few to get up and learn the characteristics. The board is pretty short and it 'bucks like a bronco' when you first get it out of the water.

So the guy selling the Exo setup gave me a Slingshot Board (4-6) and a Phase Five Nova Mast/Wing to use for the summer. It's a whole lot easier for me to get up and cruise. Most of the companies sell this wing setup or something very similar.

I also trying different combos - like the Slingshot board with the better foil.
