Last day in Tuff City. SE developed, waves built nicely. Took 5m out initially but felt OP'd on my maiden ride of the KT Ginxu (Thanks Dirty Mermaid Watersports and Vickey/KT!!). Had a few runs just to feel the balance of the board out before heading in and grabbing 4M. Tore the wrapper off the new 4m, pumped up and raced back to the water which was now 25+ and 6' swell. The improvements on the new KT wings are noticeable and the handles are so nice to use. The Ginxu launches incredibly fast; faster than anything I've ridden so far. I was nervous that the low volume in the tail would present water starting problems, but not the case. Board felt stiff and smooth. The extra weight of the beefed up construction is not as much of a factor as I'd feared either, and if anything, it dampens the ride a bit and helps the smooth feel. Feels quite surfy and back footed in the turns. SE in South Chesterman can be tricky on the wing, but it was a lot of fun this session. Solo lobo on the water. Felt warm despite 6 deg temp.
