Thanks for the detailed response, that all makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately my home break in NJ is a fast and hollow beach break, one of the more consistent and punchy waves in the region but not ideal for a big open face. There’s one decent point an hour or so away, but it needs a bigger swell to work. And in my current location (Texas), forget about it. Currently trying to decide which day of 3 foot wind swell is worth driving out for :'(
It’ll be a while before I get a chance to really dive into the twin zone I guess. Hopefully this summer I’ll be back on a proper coast.
And regarding the dims— I’m 155lb, so it’ll probably be tough to set a rail in properly. But I’m so infatuated with the speed I get when it actually works. So weird, a bad takeoff and bottom turn is bog city, but on the rare occasion when I get it right the thing absolutely zooms
