Seriously I'm in your camp ....... Modern high performance has been replaced with a 5 liter bump up in a more shorter, wider and thicker concept for more drive, glide, float and easier paddling capability that equates to more more waves at the end of the day!
Yeah, I think it’s important to have boards liked that dialed so you’re enjoying your surfs, and surfing well. If you can still get back on a HP shortboard when the waves allow, it’s a great skill to make sure you keep across ✌️
