Which is the better out of these two for a lightwind board?
Conditions is mainly chop, and an beginner/intermediate rider.
Any advice/feedback would be really helpful
Thanks

I'd definately go the Nobile EXT it's designed for lightwind. I've tried both boards and compared them myself.
The EXT wont feel like riding a big board.

I own both boards and ride them regularly.
The Nobile is stiffer and has better bottom end by a couple of knots, but does not handle chop well.
The Underground has really nice flex and has better top end by several knots, I can still be on the 1.52 FLX comfortably up to around 17/18 knots, but the Nobile EXT gets hard to control beyond 12/13 knots.
As a Begginer, just get the Underground it is a way more versatile board, the EXT is for low wind junkies like me (my bones like smoother water).
Underground pads and straps are more comfy, especially the pads.
Both are very well made boards.
I am selling my 07 1.52 FLX, $690, no dings just the usual seasons worth of fine scratches and scrapes.
