My Comments:
Tried several boards before buying this. Mostly Nobile's, Cabs (was using a 2010 SS Lunacy before this).
After my first ride with this I was smiling from ear to ear. Maybe because the Lunacy was so crap compared to this. The board performed the way I wished a board would perform. Awesome in upwind, awesome landing, awesome in choppy waters. Suprised myself sometimes realize im still standing after a boost.
My only rant about this board are the straps. Like the previous posts, the straps are too big, even after adjusting (I've ordered new Dakine Warlock straps already).
The footpads are the worst thou. After 2 sessions the top layer started to peel off. On my 4 session my left pad sorta "caved-in" at the heel side. There's a depression caused from landing.
I've tried to search for related issues in Google but couldn't find any. I've emailed Brunotti hopefully they get back to me and send a replacement or something.
