Force have applied thier snowboard knowhow into a decent board. ABS rails, stainless inserts. Strong board with plenty of pop and grip. A little bit heavier than some production boards though. About the same weight as a Cabrhina or LF. I use a 139cm Fly as my light wind board.

Definately not cheap and nasty Kurt, you really need to check them out.
They are an Australian company with a long histoty in board sports, they actually manufacture several other well known brands of boards too, none of which you would call cheap and nasty.

The new RX series are excellent boards, the only thing different is the prices.

They are up on our website now. The Flys are good boards too.

Next time I'm down at Brighton can I have a ride of your new one Jason and I'll post a full review.
I should rephrase the 'cheap and nasty' for the hardcore boards maybe

I still think the Cardboards, Underground FLX, Naish and possibly Cab are alot more refined and better finished off.

Kurt the bar is being raised all the time, Underground have always and are still the leader in design, engineering and ride in my experience.
However you really need to have a look at Force boards, as well as Airush, Addiction, etc, there are some awesome designs and boards out there, as you probably realise.
Force may have deserved that comment in the past when they were selling the "X-Blank" models, but they have moved on a lot from there.
