[quote=badfish]I know people who solo 5.5s off the beach, so the boat is fully capable (as are most).
To me, the key is speed, as usual.
It can be difficult to get going again when beating. Remember, Foot off and power it up, then point.
Downwind can be tricky, you need boat speed. Keep water flowing over the boards and rudders.
You'll also need to watch for the swell to surf you right into the back of the next wave.
Practice in heavier and heavier air and have contingencies in place if things don't go as you planned.[/quote]
