just get the MTX man.
It has a massive wind range and ripps!
I used my MTX in the most marginal of winds last night and was going up wind well (the only one) on both tacks. it jumps bloody well too. and is BOMB PROOF
But I guess i shouldn't just dismiss the other two. but I really didn't like the look of them

you also have a d-light mutatedmutant board:
From kiteboarding.be, check there for pics....:
Where the twintip meets the mutant,
the board of the future, by D'Light.
More information >> DLight.net -
info@dlight.net
This "Mutip" has amazing features:
- super light: 1,8 kg including fins, handle, straps...
- great for handlepasses because it's so light
- enormous grip on the mutant side
- perfect upwind capacities
- big fins in the back for HIGH jumping
- great waveriding feeling thanks to the backwards tending fins
- super fast planing!
- no jibing, the twintip side is as good as the best twintip
- very very strong
- 1m28 long on 37cm wide
- Fins TFC: front 5cm twintip, back 7,5cm mutantshape
In one sentence: the very best board on the market today!

If you go for a custom take the Lost Cause stubbie mut into account. Shaper is Colin McCulloch in South England, he shapes all boards for Airrush. I picked up mine on Tuesday (130 x 38), it looks fantastic and hopefully I will try it tomorrow (forecast is 20knots North-Westerlies, Northern Germany
).
Macca has the same and has extensive experience with it and I guess he loves it. As a full carbon version it is not much more expensive than a production board and the formica/ABS-rail version is even less.

Got a lost cause MUTT in the boot of me car for sale and taking it to a BKSA comp for a mate to flogg.
Both guys I know that have them have flogged them to get the Naish boards.
Don't get me wrong though they are bloody nice boards. very light and strong.

And who shaped the MTX for Naish? Maybe you can get a custom from his workshop.He must have a lot of experience shaping this kind of boards, because it will not be his first shape that will become a naish production board.

My problem with the M2 was the wind range it was just too small reall y for me to have as an only board and you have to put bigger TFC fins on the nose to make it work better backwards
what dyou reckon sc?
