A New (to me) 9'1" Malibu

Picked up a bigger mal' from a retiri g surfer in s little surfside town up the coast. He wanted to clean his garage and everything he no longer used had to go. His loss was my gain!
I Christen Thee BLUEY!
   But, although it looked right, she was shaped by someone unknown to me. There's only one way to know for sure .... i took the last parking space at Boomerang Beach. The headlsnd was pumping out some fairly cranky 5 footers that looked way too gnarly for a mal', but there was a bank down the beach a ways.
   Well, long story short; right from the get-go she felt nice. I rode a few lefts, nice cutbacks, reos and the odd controlled floater. As my confidence grew I began picking off larger waves and really cranking heavy cutbacks on my firehand,
. This board stuck like glue and I foubd no trouble  cruising high on steep walls, speeding through fast sections. The Stoke was back better than it has been in years!
