Any experienced riders ridden the 2012?
Looking at a 140 with boots.
How's the speed, pop and riding finless on it?
Who designed it?
Are they in store yet?
Cheers
^^^^ nice one. What was the go with the 2011? Were they delaminating or something?!
Yer bro the base layer whould peel off and also cracking through the fin holes was a common problem(done both).As for the 2012 had a quick poke at one the other day and apart for a new base could not realy see any major changes.
Hi Will, having a decent number of hours on my 50fifty now I'd put it on your list too (unless you want to hit sliders). Compared to my 2010 custom it's faster, better upwind, edges better, more comfy through chop, pops at least as well (with footstraps at any rate), carves just as sweetly, and holds just as much if not more power at top end.
I rode it finless once at Altona and in the flat stuff it was fun, but in the chop it was too skatey (and that's coming from someone who likes small fins). The 35mm fins are more than grippy enough. If there was a smaller option I'd go for that but it's no big deal, I can still slide it around if I can't be bothered popping out.
The Nobile pads and straps don't work for me so I'm using syncs, but that's the only negative on an otherwise awesome board.
If the forecast holds I'll be at Brighton sometime Friday and Saturday. You're welcome to have a spin if you're there.
^^^ the 2011 feels quite different to the 2010 with even more rocker and deeper channels.
I am pretty sure they fixed the de-laminating after the first batch of 2011 boards but i cant be 100% on that.
