Been riding the flux for the past 7 months and like them a lot. however got presented with a deal on XPS and mulling over the idea of switching from Flux to XPS
mostly freeriding, 10-25kt, 4ft waves. Can jibe and tack. has anybody tried both and ended up choosing XPS? thanks a lot
Tried both as well and they are both very good, but the flagging, tacking and high wind stability felt to me better with the Flux.In lightwind the XPS feels a bit more nimble, in mid wind and high wind the Flux is imo superior.They are both among the best I tried for freeride and waveriding.
I tested the flux few weeks ago in stronger Inland conditions on a lake. It was the 4.3 and wind was around 20 with heavier gusts. Somehow it felt weird to me. I had a lot pulling on my Fronthand. Idk why. The handles looked cheep to me. for example compared with the unit. the trailing edge was a bit flappy. I was Disappointed. It just got the old Boston Ventil and the pumphose flipped out during pumping it up serval times.
