If you can find one of the original Makos, 140X35 I think, they were very fast in chop and you could launch them huge. Very different ride from the newer wider versions.

I love my CF Raptor Pro, it's a fast TT, but I want to go a lot faster on a TT. Any suggestions?
Maybe an Amundson could work...

My Cabrinha Caliber is a pretty fast board. I measured a top speed of 48 Km/h (26 knots, 30mph) on a downwind course.
Flat rocker and low flex is the key of a fast TT.

I would like a super fast TT that I can use for boosting. How well does the Axis limited boost? and what model year is the fastest? Is there other boards that are faster boosters?

Mark loaned me the board when it was demo so it went straight back after the event
Now building my own directional asymetrics

Axis Limited in the earlier year 13', 14', and 15' were the ones with the thin rail and flatter rocker. They could really edge hard and boost easily in my opinion. Now I didn't ride the latter model years ('16 and on) but I see many of the twin tip racers using that black/silver circuit board graphic 2015 Axis Limited for racing. (Now they have a dedicated Limited model for it.) So pure conjecture but I'm guessing there were some desirable attributes to that year's board. I owned a Limited '14 136x42, '14 138x42.5 and a '15 138x42.5. They are the fastest boards I've owned/tried by far. The next closest twin would be a '18 North Jaime Textreme 138x42. Also quite fast and good booster.
