I tried the smaller Trax and was really impressed. I think it was a 135. It definitely was not too heavy. The edging and pop were fantastic and it truly does "ride above the water" as F-One pitches. Here's the board -

Overall I think it would make a great Airstyle board but it was so light that it took some getting used to. Also, personally I don't like the footpads because I wear booties and they literally stick onto the footpads making board offs more difficult. This however may not be the case riding barefoot but I always ride with booties.
Definitely replace the standard with the one on the Airstyle site or make your own. I recently bought 2 of them and will never ride a board without one. As far as the rail grip, more and more i use it less and find the handle to be just as easy. This is especially the case if you get the taller handle. I used to use the grab rail for all board offs but I find the handle to be less torque on the wrist. If you do install one i recommend making one from an old flip flop. The best adhesive I have found is Gorilla Glue. Its the only one that has lasted.
keep use posted on what you end up getting.

The 137 is maybe a bit big. I guess if I go for a new twintip, it will probably be a smaller one.
I am still looking at measuring the width and get Toby's handle.
Unfortunately, I hurt my shoulder, so there are no big jumps on the horizon right meaning no hurry.
I wrote to Jeremie in regard to his grab rail, which he makes from North binding pads, the ones graded hard or soft. He recommended neoprene glue.
Also, I was able to order the grab rails from Flysurfer. Have not received them yet though.
