I would love to build a wood surf kayak, but I am not inspired by the tiny waves being surfed on the Matunuck's page. Does anyone know how it surfs in real surf. Or even better, anyone have a picture of a hill or a fin recommendation?
Old message, but I'll reply for posterity and the next guy who asks.
It surfs great, on as big a wave as you are willing to ride. I've surfed overhead waves on it. Very in control. I have a tri-fin setup on the bottom. Fins are required for big surf (for me).
But it also surfs little tiny waves, and those can be a blast too. On days where you wouldn't bother with a surfboard, you can go out and plink around for hours.
