As I am the Acid Rider from Fone, I will start with presenting my absolute favorite board! The Acid is the board-to-take for the Freestyle oriented rider, who needs high performance, high speed, hard flex and good pop!
Compared to the 2010 model, aside of the new cool graphics, 2 main things were changed: First of all, the new Acid got the same successful carbon X that the old Trax already had. The additional carbon in the center of the board provides less flex in the middle, but more in the tips! This results in a better pop, more control and higher speeds without loosing too much comfort…
Second, the new Acid has, such as all the new 2011 boards, the new patented fin system: The fins are plugged into the board, and not until then fixated with a screw, which does NOT go into the fin. This is totally new, as it allows the fin to be extremely resistant but also way thinner and thereby faster! Furthermore, the fins are assymetrical, and work like an airplane wing. This supports the performance of the new boards a lot!!!
The Acid is not only my choice because of the sick graphics. Its high performance combined with great pop, upwind and early planning makes it one of the best boards on the market, and is my absolute favorite!
The board will be built in these 3 sizes, and I ride the biggest one:
127x37cm
130x39cm
132 x 40,5 cm
Tomorrow I will present you Fones topseller: The New Trax!
Cheers
