Hi Guy,
I'm sorry for the late response, but I live in Europe, and we have a different time zone......

@Kilokite:
Are the rails rounded ???
No, the rails aren't rounded. They are like a normal twin tips board. Shaped by Galta on a Wood Airex strong core. So you recive from the board an exaggerated carving ability.
LENGHT 144cm
CENTER 40cm
TIPS 21cm
ROCKER 5,5 cm
WEIGHT 1,8 kg

@Toby:
the tips look flexi, are they?
The wood airex strong core, with the flex tips, give to the board more control in landing and chop.
All the board have a good flex, not only the tips.

That looks excellent and I am confident it will ride the same. Pity I didn`t see it about 4 weeks ago when I ordered 2 underground boards to try in the waves without seeing or trying either and they should arrive this month and I couldn`t find a new-old Loose Wave anywhere. Although I am sure they will be just fine maybe even super, that new Ripp fits all the criteria I wanted especially TT, length/width, those pads look like they will work really well, and the flex sounds good. I had a looseAX160(lost a while ago) which was the most comfortable board for me and bombproof. ......I`m gonna have to get one!!!!

Hey alex,
I know loose, i had quite a few of their boards, and am listed as their dealer for mexico, i have not bought any of their boards recently since the euro went up so much. i will be in italy next summer and want to pick up some of their new boards.
Do you have any pictures of the new hard core board?
