My days of speciality kayak surfing are behind me (they were done in displacement hull boats such as the Dragonfly II if that sets the time for some folks.) We didn't ride with all the style and control of the boarders, but I do seem to remember we got way more rides, since we were able to "break out" faster and through bigger waves. Baring mechanical assistance (boarders sometimes get tows from Jetskis to get out through the really big breaks), would you say it's still true that modern surf kayaks and waveskis catch more waves than boarders?
