Loved the monk but after the bronq I couldn't see myself getting back on one tbh, weight is one of the main points ,

Unless you can Demo - just go with what you know... very expensive otherwise.
It has a whole lot more flex in the right places than my Monk. it will go well in lighter and stronger stuff, you stick it hard carving into a wave face or flats and it locks solid like rails, stomp as hard you can into a jump and it grips. One of the best things I like is the heavy landings that get soaked up in flex.
My Nobile 2Hd is gathering dust on the shelf with the Monk and other boards..

Why not buy 2 boards - one for general wave conditions and one for big air.. acceleration in the flats between sets is what helps throw you up there...

What about the ocean rodeo?

You're describing the bronq?

Sorry no - the 2018 CrazyFly Raptor LTD.
The 2018 model is thinner and better flex pattern than previous models.

Seem they have a cult following, the smaller models might suit here, I see them as an additional board for those odd days though , Carnt comment much as I've not had a run on them
cheers

Hey Cauncy
Thumbs up for Nomad Carbon Wave
Owned most of the boards you mentioned still have my Shin Bronqs Heritage,
Crazy fly Ltd but absolutely hands down will grab my Nomad Team Wave base carbon model.150 x43 for my 100kgs but rides like a lot smaller board.Fast,carves,jumps,light strong,tail flex,11mm concave,
no fuss great board.Got the carbon fins and handle.
Just a ripper Twin Tip.
As close as you can get to TwinTip surfing.

Can vouch for the 2018 Raptor LTD 136x41 - does everything pretty damned good for a free ride board. has made all my other boards obsolete, jumps well over other kiters ok too if your passing Perth you can take mine for a wirl.

136 x 41 seems small, is that the go for dedcated jumping board, curious what weight and height are you?

Looking for a board that can ride well powered for jumping so @ 95kg. Not sure what size to go? Looks like rocker is also desired.

Im 5'5 and 75kg,
I'd say it has medium rocker, the board at 41cm, is wider than id normally use but have adjusted the straps n pads further back so my heel is closer to the edge for better control..
I have recently changed thoughts from narrow, after seeing the king of air guys all on big wide boards for acceleration into jumps..
Realistically most jumps where I kite - have very short run ups that you need to accelerate for big airs.
Like Gilly says - the 136x41 or 140x42 would be ok.
I would recomend the Neon coloured pads and fins or the Neon Ltd board.

Ronson all the way mate.
