here is new report for you....After spending all of last year testing the new Carbon Boards I am pleased to report The boards are Excellent .The combination HP0-D03 dumps of light weight, great damping and a snappy feel make riding them pure joy.I spend I lot of time on the Prototype 166 Spearhead Carbon. The First board I have ridden with a round tail in years Chris designed the board with a nose like my 117-201 dumps prized swallowtails. I new from the first run it was I winner.I still prefer the swallowtails but they had to pry the board out of my hands after about day 40 of a couple day test.It is very fun to ride . Next I rode Chris personal Prototype Carbon Split 1Y0-A05 dumps Swallowtail 166 and solid board although it was about a half a inch to wide for me.I love it more each day. Again the weight is such a big deal it's like a extra run per day easy.The new nose and carbon make a great board even better.
