Hi there, im looking to get the new custom and was wanting some feedback from anyone who owns one or has any experience with the 08 model.
Ill use it for kiteing mainly, but also down at the cable park on low wind days.
Thanks...

A mate of mine has one and loves it. His riding has vastly improved since he started riding it ( probably due somewhat to the board ).
I personally didn't like it too much however I only rode it for about 20 min so spent most of that time trying to get used to it.

It has heaps of rocker and feels quite weird if you are not familiar with it. Very soft on landings and eats the chop. But to me it just felt weird.

different strokes for different folks I guess

Hey Darryl, I got a 133 Custom a couple of months ago, and have found it to be a really good board. Handles the chop well, and due to it's stiffness, gives good pop when doing unhooked tricks. Isn't to bad in the waves either.
Only bad thing are the footstraps. They are rubbish, and you have to constantly tighten them. If I had money I would change to Liquid Force.

i have a custom 128

it is a great board for all conditions but mainly flat water.. it is great in the chop also. if you are doing unhooked tricks it will be perfect as it created soooo much pop and great landings.
if you are looking for a board that is for all conditions get it. i love it but it really depends on what u think.
