Hi Guys,

Does anyone ridden these?
Is the Monarch that stiff or just stiffer than the other TTs in Naish`s line?
How does it perform in choppy conditions?

Motion on the other hand has the size I`ve had always looking for - 138x41,5...
How they compare in case I intend to ride in some ocasions boots but mainly straps /Dub probably/?
Asking because saw Matt Nuzzo`s review and he states that Monarch has "decent amount of rocker" and could be ridden w/ boots... but 132 looks so short to me ?!
I`m 77 kg.

Any input?

I'm in the same boats as you. Last time I checked the boards has not arrived here yet...

I am mainly looking at the dub or monarch. I doubt the monarch is that stiff though...considering how the previous boards also were made for Langeree?

I'm also looking at riding occasionally using boots...

No one purchased some of these boards...?

Havent seen them i EU yet...

No problem my 88kg - 134/42 Naish Monarch unreal board !!! not stiff, very fast & very nice upwind ! Wind 5-10m/s with Naish Torch 2013 12m.


THIS IS MY FIRST TEST DAY (FIRST 17 MINUTES) WITH 2013 NAISH MONARCH BOARD, I made video clip from first 17min. (because GoProHero mont crash, I attach 17min. back:))) I could not record...

for you 77kg - 130 or 132cm is ok with boots only you kiteboarding & wake technique limits fantasy

Arturas thank you for sharing!
The 130 is quite small for me though.
Maybe I`ll go for 132 but most probably for 134 but still difficult to assess, esp taking into consideration that I`m going to place a blind order.
I have134 x42 NHP 2012 atm and it feels OK for the light conditions here /I have Torch 12 2013 as well/ but I wonder how Monarch should be in comparison.
How does 134 feels?
Is it light? Do you find it big because the outline and the wide tips?
