ABoards X-Series

Wow.
As most of you know i won this board in the competition and finally had the chance to ride it.
I was riding at Tuggerah lake in about 25 knots with an 12m Rebel
There was slight chop with the odd small wave to ramp up.

First looks: This board is sick straight out of the bag. The design, shape, and graphics all look amazing. A very well constructed board

First Ride: It really is a true wakestyle board, first thing the POP.. incredible. suddenly i could pop higher and harder that ever before this this will send you flying with or without the kite. Coming back down the landings are buttery smooth with the massive flex. The boards flex makes landings bearable time and time again.
Carving the board was great the rocker line helped heaps with this and made for some nice turns or some serious whip lash cuts. On the edge i thought it would be a bit bumpy but once your going its just like anything else but better. i had no problems what so ever with going upwind.

The only thing i can think of was that the fins felt a bit small for me. Iv been riding a crossride with the North TFC fins. The new more skatey feel was different but great.

Stars: 4.9/5

A great board i can reccomend this board to anyone who wants to improve their riding in any way. When i jumped on this board i felt like a new kiter it motivated me and excited me.

Thanks aboards
