Comments: I finally received my new aboard x-series 09 model, 131 cm. Firstly, the graphics have improved dramatically with the X-series board having high gloss white / light silver with a finish similar to the Nobile-Shinn Pro of 08. The board retains most of the 08 features except the pads are new "atmosphere" and have 6 gas capsules in the heel area.
The boards are also fatter than the 08 for the same length, making landings easier and giving a little more pop....
Overall - very satisfied. would recommend this boards to the guys who normally destroy boards, heavier riders, and those that want something that looks great.
