I feel you man, I was surfing 8 foot walls in peru for 3 months back in 2022. Got fat since then and can barely use my old board. I just started over and got a soft top, I've been losing weight too. In some ways I would say I'm better now than before where I couldn't surf in onshores as well and now it's not as much an issue. Still I'm not as fast.
