Anyone noticed any Nobile 50fifty 2013 board review on forums/magazine/webpage?
I am wondering how 2013 50fifty compares to 2012 board.
2013 is 1cm narrower than 2012. Does it make much difference in freestyle or freeride?

I would like to know the differences between 2010 and the rest of the years.
I have the 2010 version and I love it.

To my knowledge, the only change between the two years are the graphics and all boards come with bolts for footpads and the quick release bolts.
Not exactly on topic, but the 50/Fifty is shown in the second half of this comparison video:

The 2013 feels softer, maybe due to it being slightly narrower, I had the 2011, and now the 2012. After using the 2013 on demo I do not want one, the 2012 is more responsive,more fun,
But the difference is small, but I could still feel it,
That tiny bit of extra stiffness makes a difference, making it easier to pop out through the waves, and feel faster, it may not be faster, but it feels it. And I my book that feels more exciting.
