Hi all,I've used the Nobile EXT(the 48cm model) a couple times this week.This seems to be a realy well built board.Thin snowboard style construction.The pads are very comfy for stockers.I used it with my 16 OR One and a 12 OR One.Planes super quick,and has excellent board speed.Very good upwind.It feels very tight in the water,not skatey.The fins are fairly large.I did not use it with the fin profilers on.The lighter wind performance is obvious but what really blew me away was the higher wind control.I never felt like I was ever pushing to much water due to the width.Jumps great and has very good pop.If you are in the 200lbs + club this is a great ride.This is the best lightwind twin I have tried,with the great meduim to higher wind control.I'm bummed,it has to go back to the shop.Thats the worst part about trying gear.
