Best twin tip you have taken a ride on?
I love my Crazyfly Raptor, it performances worlds above my old Nobile T5, but I got the chance to ride a North board (for the life of me I can't
remember which board it was) over the winter in Costa Rica and it was just something else. Went up wind and popped out of the water with little
effort and turned on a dime. What's the best board you have taken a ride on?

Unfortunately, I really have not ridden very many twin-tips. I keep meaning to, but I enjoy mine so much, I have a hard time picking up another board.
I have ridden the North Gonzales and found it to be a fast, stiff board that handled chop pretty well, and jumped very nicely. Very fast to plane. Fun
board. I still like my RS better though.

nuclear powered---->jimmy lewis
powered fun---> slick flat bottom anything not too stiff. too many cheap sandwich laminates to name. Sk Sprint 140 has been a fav of mine its
range, comfort for my size and super quick bottom make it apex bang for the buck. 3 full year round riding at $200 from 12mph to a gale is near
righteous status.
rider weight, bottom features and breeze are all too variable to apply with accuracy.
in general in the same wind the lighter you are, the more good choices there are. the heavier rider will not find the same features apparent.
a lighter rider will notice alot of nuances a heavier can not discern without appropriate wind for comparison.
nobile had some issues for sure rail/foot bed position def poor placement. for the right size guy i'm sure it has some magic.

I LOVE my underground FLX! It is so light, and has a pop to it that I've never felt before! It's a 122, and feels like there's nothing on my feet when
I'm in the air.

Flyradical L ... but I have little to compare it to. Of my boards, it's the most fun, lightest and is easy to jump with.
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Totally spoiled. Learned to kite from the maker of Aggression Kiteboards. I have a hard time picking up another board. J.Lewis' are close. If you
get a chance to try one.
We all start out with a big bag of luck, and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill your bag of experience, before you empty your bag of
luck.
