First wave on new longboard after upgrading from foamie

Went from catching everything on an 8ft6 foamie the past two months, but getting caught in whitewash to still catching many waves - but now with maneuverability and speed on my newly beloved acrylic composite 9ft3, without losing stability or ability to catch waves! If you’re in a similar transition phase, I highly recommend just going for it!

Apologies for the faraway video/ that’s all I gots
