Currently riding the Code 720S and honestly it checks all boxes for 80kg and my fit level.
That said, I’ve been eyeing off the 700X for punchier days/(tow in potentially) when I want to get tighter in the pocket, slash a bit harder top-to-bottom, and get a bit more reactive rail-to-rail roll.
I want to sanity-check my theory: Is the 700X going to give me ~10% better carving in the steep wave pocket, at the expense of being ~50% worse at everything else (pumping, glide, low-end)?
For those who have ridden both back-to-back:
Is the 700X that much looser and more surfy in critical sections to justify giving up the 720S glide?
How heavy is the pump/low-end penalty when trying to connect waves or get up in softer section slop?
Is the 700X strictly a tow / heavy-surf , or does it hold its own as a daily driver if you're willing to pump a bit harder?
Appreciate any real-world feedback!
