Flatwater and surf big air... specific board for conditions - everythings is a trade off.
I'll swap boards during a session according to what style im riding and wind strength.
If im goin horizontal loops in dodgy gusty winds, ill use the soft flexy Monk for hard landings..
The stiffer 'faster' board for reliable winds and buttersoft landings - makes no difference on knees if you know how to land soft..
Hey Whales, I traded my 2011 Nobile 2HD in to Kite Action in Caloundra (QLD) when I got my new board a couple weeks ago, they might still have it for sale. It was super fast, just too wide for me at 62kg. Board was 134x43. Might be a good option to get on the 2HD at a fraction of the cost of a new one.
