Hotdogging is shredding in a 60’s way. The emphasis is on style. How smoothly can you link your turns? How eloquently can you move up and down the board? While shortboarding can get frustrating because performance surfing is very dependent on the right sort of wave, logging is more forgivable. Let’s face it, the amount of days the local beach is 2 ft and sloppy rather than perfect is much higher. The Big Sun Hotdogger thrives in conditions other boards can not. The parallel rail shape separates the Hotdogger from the Involvement Era Log. The Hotdogger also has more rocker making it more forgiving in more conditions.
The challenge is two fold. An experience rider will quickly find managing a bigger board takes a whole different set of skills. But enjoyment comes from not only a shift in skill but a shift in mind. Let your surfing experience open up as you find the days suitable for surfing double or quadruple.
