My Comments:
Hi I have just bought the 2012 Naish Money shot twin tip 135 x 42 cm.
First impressions were ,I liked the look of the board .The colour really stands out you will always see it in the water ( bright yellow and black).The paint finish could be better for the price of the board which retails just over $1000 but that is the only complaint.
The new pads took a while to get right and were a little hard but after 4 sessions they feel very comfortable and very easy to adjust pulling from the sides rather than the top.
In the water was the real surprise.As it is not the lightest board around I thought it might be sluggish in the water,how wrong could I be.The board glides through the water with hardly no spray.It is a freestyle board so of course popping, holding an edge and jumping was fantastic ( best board I have ever ridden)but the real surprise was the small wave riding it was much better than my 2010 North Crossride.
I think Naish has done a really good job with this board and feel it is perfect for any level.
board looks great, loved the 2010 momentum, have been converted to north team series this year mainly due to the weight issue but after reading this would love to demo one.
Question, why does it take 3-5 sessions to "break-in" naish footstraps, my momentum straps are super comfy, bulky and ugly but thong like comfort 
A mate had the same prob with the new straps,they look s**t hot but wore the skin off the sides of his feet,have softened up now ,either that or his feet have hardened up

I purchased the 133 x 41 cm Money shot and am also very happy with its performance. It is a heavier board in comparison to the offerings from Cabrinha and Underground but once on the water this is all forgotten. The pop that the board offers is amazing!! (Havn't had it in any small waves yet but am looking forward to trying it out) The foot straps did appear to be stiff from the outset but by the 3rd session all was well. Would definately recommend a demo if you are looking for something new..
