First of all Team series is one of the lightest boards i've ever rode--2Kg
I found that the New Entity bindings released with the board offered a immense amount of customization and needed to be tweaked quite a bit to find the best feeling. Quite a stiff board which allows extreme pop for getting massive air's and getting the extra few seconds to get the last rotation of your trick in. I found that the board is alot easier to ride upwind in comparison to the 2011 select. I don't really see how the board is skatey, the 2012 features 4 channels on the nose and tail of the board which allows the board to grip the water better upon landings and while your cruising. North also provide a 18 month warranty on all their boards so you don't have to worry about hitting your kickers aggressively

The board is a totally different feel to previous boards i have ridden but after a few sessions you really get it dialed in and the board has really influenced my decision to ride freestyle again.
