Today was one of those flat light days, well, in places, not so much flat light as pure guesswork! Now there will be folks who will tell you they can teach you to ride in flat light, some I am sure who are happy to take your $ to do so, but the reality is, its a question of practice and mindset.
When riding flat light, you switch from initiating to responding. You can't see problems coming to initiate avoidance, you can only hit the problem and then respond to it. You must have the right eyewear, forget grey, think amber, and forgiving boards. Till now for me at least, nothing compared to the 120 in these conditions, but now there is a new kid on the block, the Rockered Condor.
Right up there with the most forgiving sliders I have ever used.
