here is a non biased review
(i cant believe im actually contributing to this thread, but those who know me know im not biased to any brand, i ride what i like and what i can afford)
08 flexi (134x40) vs nobile555 (135x40)
both boards truely rock !!!!!
i rode them back to back in solid 16-18 on a 15m 08 roo...
the 555 is smoother in the chop, felt more like last years flexi,
they both got up and planed about the same but the flexi felt like it locked its edge a little better and pointed up wind a little bit more, this is due to the flex character of the boards differing a little... the 55 has flex throughout most of the board, this allows it to take the chop a little better, the flexi is stiffer in the moddle 80% but has more flex in the tips, this helps it to lock its edge better and give it a touch more pop......
basically both board rock, it just depends on what you are looking for... i would say the flexi takes a bit more skill to ride, it took me a while for getting the feel of the stiffer edge, but once you do you can feel the difference when you load it and release.....
also i rode the 11m Rev, back to back with the 08 waroo and nemi hp...
nice kite seems like a cross between the 08 and 06 waroo, very fast, nice power...
if the price was the same for the rev and waroo, it would be a tough choice....
peace
(keep the love guys)
