I don't get it.....

"Hulls just don't work here." That's what the man said! OK, let me backtrack a bit. I am in one of my favorite local surf shops last week and talking boards and design with the owner. I mention my Vaqueros and some other hulls that I've had and he comments how they just don't work here (east coast). So I get a bit defensive as I know that the guy is a good surfer and ask why he'd say that. He says that he's never really ridden one and that he bases his opinion on the dynamics of the round bottom and goes on to say that a flat or concave bottom is what works best in our waves. Really? Really??
