Extreme is considerably stiffer than the Raptor pro. If chop and comfort are a concern you may want to test drive first..

Re: Daily driver high performance twintip recommendations
Won't this be too stiff in choppy conditions compared to the regular shotgun?

For me the carbonara is perfect. I can ride it all day without knee pain. Regular Shotgun is too soft for me.

Re: Daily driver high performance twintip recommendations
The regular Shotgun is a pretty stiff board! Get's away with it because of the channels but surprised to hear it described as soft!

Re: Daily driver high performance twintip recommendations
I ha ve a raptor ltd carbon, best board i ve ever had.
Great pop, lightweight, and a very comfy ride. I use it mainly for big air and freeride

Re: Daily driver high performance twintip recommendations
The Shotgun is not soft, just feels smooth because of the highly effective channelling. Always has grip.

Re: Daily driver high performance twintip recommendations
Core Fusion 5. For your weight and wind either the 139 or 141; I would go with the 141.
The double-concave bottom really smooths out the chop.
Here's my review of it:

Re: Daily driver high performance twintip recommendations
The Anton FreeK is nice everyday board. Loved the Crazyfly Raptor and the Spleene Rip,too. I mostly ride Freeride and BigAir in choppy conditions.
