New Fin, Best Winter Swell 09!

So we just had the best swell of 2009! Surfline has an article here. I had the chance to try out my new Hydrofoil fin. I caught 2 really good waves. The last was a solid 6' left that seemed to go forever!
The fin held the line OK yet it seemed to slow me down a bit. On my last wave as an exit maneuver I went for a roundhouse cutback. The fin dragged, I stalled and then I got nailed by the wave. Still it was an awesome session! Can't wait for the next chance to test it out.
