Photo: Go for the bump- you'll like it. Say it with me: Release. Ah, feels good doesn't it?
Photo: Pull the ends thin... a little less boaty but a lot more turny... are turny and boaty even words?

I love my Ninja Bump for sure! Mine is 9'0" It is less stable in chop than i thought it would be but once on the wave, i love it's style. Nose ride or surf from the tail.
I was going to send Tim an e-mail but maybe you know. What lb eps does he use in his boards?
Sweet....and what a beautiful resin job!
Congrats John and looking forward to your full report!

Hey Gail- wish I could say that one was mine too but it was made for somebody who lives part time in Costa Rica.
I've got my hands full with my new 9'1... such a different board than my 9'3" lots of changes. I did get to surf it once before it dumped rain and I was pretty much stoked on it (second time surfing it). Super loose and it just comes off the top super nice... no stickiness.
Fast off the tail too- you can just ride the tail as you wrap cutbacks- it's like standing on a disc that keeps accellerating through the arc. Cool stuff.
Wouldn't mind having a bigger, fuller nosed Bump Ninja for myself for those super small days though.
Hope you're doing well up there- I'll see if I can get myself up there sometime.
John
Hey Anon.
Send me a photo of your board and I'll post it up... even better send a photo of you surfing it- would love to see how it goes!
My board is tippy too but I'm willing to live with the performance/stability trade off. Sounds like you're okay with it too.
Tim uses 1.5 lb foam on most boards- I have seen some of his personal stand ups that are made of 1lb foam... ridiculously light but fragile.
Rip on bro!
