Been using the CB wave for a year now and looooove it.

Depends on your main style man. I am a TT rider, who likes to then switch onto my toes in the surf, head back and boost, ride both ways.

So my straps are placed middle, like a TT - with slight more up the front end.

When in big surf, just surfing, i have moved the back strap over the thrusters, gives more dig, tighter carves etc.

When in the flat i take thruster off and put TT's on and it's an awesome TT.

It's more of TT that surfs remember, not the other way round. Although apparently Nate make it look like a SB that is a TT! - but for us mere mortals, a tt that surfs.

Are you gonna ride the other way, or are you mainly surfing. Question you gotta answer.

Ultimately it rides best for me when set centre.

let us know what you find, you will love it, get some time to dial it in. When switching over to thruster fins forward (i.e. like TT), be sure to lean back on the rail just a little bit more - have never caught the thruster yet, but it makes for a more smooth transition.

Just a fantastic board mate, wouldn't ride any other.

oh yeh actually goes upwind better the other way, with thrusters forward - screams upwind.

also try and email Nate (pornstar I think on seabreeze), he knows everything abotu this board as it was designed for him to ride at gnarloo.

Hi Eppo
I will be using it similar to what you use it for, TT style in surf. (I have a 6" WAM as well if I just want to ride surf/waves)

I notice it has 2 sets of 2 screw holes, 1 set starting 300 mm from the tail and another set 330 mm from the tail (thruster end) while 3 sets of 2 screw holes starting 360/390/415 mm from the nose of the board. This potentially gives you 2 adjustments positions from the rear of board and 3 from the front with variable splay/duck options for both front and rear.

I was going to set up the rear pad closest to the centre (330 mm from tail) and go with the middle or front option on the front pad if that makes sense.

Hopefully will be able to test it on Thursday.

Im really not good eppo, not worthy.

Set your thruster foot, far back so you can feel the fins.
Then go a wide stance like you surf. Measure the dirty spots on your surf board.
The board is plenty long enough.
