Got a good deal for Shox and already own Raptor (132x40). Should i swap/switch?
I am beginner/intermediate, mainly want to jump, transitions and generally freeriding. Conditions are half meter to meter long chop, no surfing waves, just open sea and deep canals. Messy water.
A friend offering xride too. Shox and xride are 135-41. Can only "demo" xride.
I still have not much experience with boards, just want to catch a deal if it is worth.
Weight 70kg, 14-24 kts most of the sessions, well at least the ones i am going out, switching between 2 kite sizes (switchblades).
So which of this 3 would be best for chop? Regarding reviews, they all do pretty well, but 75% times it is choppy so want best of the 3 for progressing.
Muchas gracias :*

So, raptor, shox or xride? Anyone? :(
I am not yet skilled enough to demo and tell the differences, still in lumpy waterstart process.

Just stick with what you got. No need to upgrade if you don't need to
