what boat were you using in these conditions?

one time i was in a Pachena and out running an artic hawk big time. it was
short chop and i could surf, but the longer boat couldn't due to multiple
waves under his hull.

so i wonder if you were out in deep water or working off of shallow water
waves.
i'm currious to know if shorter boats can out run longer boats in deep
water.

bye bye bliven
