Then a guy like Tony (who the MB is right for) comes along, and I change my mind. OK, the MB link is back up. It is a lot of fun in the surf. Just turn it on waves like a sea kayak, meaning carve turns on the outside edge. But if the bow is out of the water, lean into the stern rudder, and once that outside chine is lifted, push and slide the stern around. On a close-out, head straight down the wave, lean all the way back, and hang on. It feels real edgy at first, but you get used to it and learn to take advantage of it.
