G'Day Stupollard,

I just got the 134x41 and havn't had any spray issues as yet.
Do you have the little spacer under your heelside fins to increase the rocker at the tips?
Apparently that's what they are for anyway.

Cheers, Chris.

I had a 555 (128*39)
It was the best board I've ever had.
It was a little too small for my weight so I sold it.
Never had any problem with it and it was amazing.

Good Winds

I bought the 09 555 (128) and was initially dissapointed. Found it skatey, threw loads of spray and needed excessive pressure on the backfoot.

I widened the stance, fixed the problem for me.

nobile - best boards, worst straps in the history of kiting.

simple answer ....buy a TB Haura!!!!!!!no spray
my light wind board is a 555 and i have put underground footstarps on it.

Lovey, that's a big call. What about those straps you made for your first board. What were they? rope with a rubber tube around it or was it the thongs stuck to the marine ply board. I'll admit though the Nobile straps aren't the most comfortable I've had but they arent the worst either.

The 09 555 is one of the least skaty boards i have ever ridden thay have a huge concave bottom and massive fins, skatey? did you put the fins on? the right way?
I have found the 555 to be one of the most user friendly boards ever tracking upwind easily no spray handle the chop well with great flex through the board and they handle extremely well riding slow or fast. The board size selector on their site is spot on the boards they recomend are probably bigger than what you would normaly ride but i found after following their advise my ridding was more enjoyable and i was progressing faster.

The 666 is one of the best boards on the market give one a demo.

thanks guys.
Im going to demo a couple of boards and see if its just the way I ride as all other reviews seem extremely positive
Cheers
