Board specs question

Nitro’s Gullwing Hybrid camber (reverse camber between bindings, regular camber from the bindings out to the nose and tail)

I reckon that the 2cm difference will be hardly noticeable then, but only as long as the weight, widths, sidecut, and effective edges are of a similar spec also!!!!!

While I haven’t ever ridden a TBT, I have ridden C2, and I reckon the dynamics would be very similar in nature!!!!!

sounds like you’re excited about the airobic, so get the 151. You’ll adapt to it. Getting identical boards all the time isn’t fun.

Especially if ya gonna keep ya existing board too, as if its a little stiffer it will make a great Freeride Pow Stick!!!!!

Much like a Full Rockered Board compared to a Full Cambered Board!!!!!

They can have exactly the same Effective Edge (And sidecut for that matter), yet the feel of the board when engaging that edge will be completely different due solely to the profile!!!!!

thankyou, Obi-Wan Mizomi!

Ok guys you convinced me! Now I just have to wait til I can find one on sale in the next month or so, as I refuse to pay full price!

My current existing board is the 149 Nitro Runaway, which I switched to when looking for something softer after the 150cm Omatic which was super stuff. Now I’m trying to find something somewhere inbetween the two extremes.

I already hand-me-downed my Omatic to Crackers’ Mrs, but I think if I get the Airobic and I like it, I’ll give her the Nitro, as that will be much more suited to her (and I might see if I can get the Omatic back).
