Entry 012 - Fat Tide

Got out early for a workday today - 0745.  Surf was pretty good and better than Sunday.  Caught a few and had 2 nice rides.  There were corners that I could get but many times the waves walled up around me and I didn't risk it.  Even on the ones I caught I found myself back pretty far on the board to keep it from pearling.  Thinking I might move the center fin to keep the board in the water a little more.  Not sure though.  My 9' Stewart just seems to be holding me back a lot from the surf at Porto.  I'll try some experiments and see what works over the next few weeks.  Seriously considering going smaller though - 8'.
