Sure these boards are not the same .. but are close to that balance im looking for.. Is there Anyone have try both 2012 boards to give some review..??
I've ridden both, there very similar in some ways but the Moneyshot is stiffer and has more of a slippery feel where the 2HD isn't as slippery or as stiff so its a little softer on the knees and easier to control on bad landings or choppy water, but the money shot loads better in smooth water . So if your riding in flat water the Moneyshot is great ,but if its choppy the 2HD is probably more comfortable.
Build is great on both, the Naish foot pads fit bigger feet and didn't fit me properly but other guys loved them, the Nobile fit me great and are supper comfy but don't fit everyone so Im by ass to the Nobile pads
Have Fun
