Yeah the pearson arrow is exactly as you said, allot of rocker and tight pintail, I got it on craiglist a a few years ago, I hadn't brought it out in a while so I thought I'd give it a try.

by onshore wind I mean the wind was coming off the land, that's not discouraging I was unsure about it but had the time and really wanted to get out after so long. Yeah there were 8 people out there and two were getting regular waves.
