Out of those 2 I'd probably go the EXT board or else suggest a longer 555 board maybe the 145cm if you are over 90kg and looking to cruise and save a couple of hundred bucks.

Nice boards either way and the 666 has a bag with it

Cheers

145cm for a 93kg intermediate?? A friend of mine once said "This is kiteing not BOATING"


I don't think the EXT is the right choice for a one board option unless you were over 100kg or had a smaller board as well. It is very grippy and you can hold plenty of power but not so much on the toeside.
Go with either the 135cm 555 or 666. Most likely the 666 because its wider.
