hey Brendon rekon you may get 20mins surfing but maybe only 10mins flat strap... btw not a lot of rudder is needed...
just go for it n let us know what happens

edit..
whoa Brendon just realised goin for it maybe bad with lipo batts.... unlike the nicd nimh batts that get slower n slower then just go flat, lipo batts go like a full charge all time but they don't like being disharged less than 3.6v per cell...

Recomend doin a full blast for 5mins somewhere then bring in and check volts..again and again.. then surfing again and again.
when ya know how long you can run the board without dischargeing too much run your wave times around them times...
or get a hk telemetry system (bit squeezy to get inside hull) or a transmitter that tells you real time volts of the batt while operating.

Lipo's are good but do come with restrictions... !
