Been riding the flux for the past 7 months and like them a lot. however got presented with a deal on XPS and mulling over the idea of switching from Flux to XPS
mostly freeriding, 10-25kt, 4ft waves. Can jibe and tack. has anybody tried both and ended up choosing XPS?
thanks a lot
XPS is on the top of my list to get this year, Flux next, so following with interest...you've likely run across these, but for reference:
Rode them both, happy with Flux. In the nuances I like, handles, tacking, flagging, I preferred the Flux
Tried both as well and they are both very good, but the flagging, tacking and high wind stability felt to me better with the Flux.In lightwind the XPS feels a bit more nimble, in mid wind and high wind the Flux is imo superior.They are both among the best I tried for freeride and waveriding.
I tested the flux few weeks ago in stronger Inland conditions on a lake. It was the 4.3 and wind was around 20 with heavier gusts. Somehow it felt weird to me. I had a lot pulling on my Fronthand. Idk why. The handles looked cheep to me. for example compared with the unit. the trailing edge was a bit flappy. I was Disappointed. It just got the old Boston Ventil and the pumphose flipped out during pumping it up serval times.
I just got them after f one strike and swing v3s, I like them, a different power generation feel, but great wings.
