Review of 2014/2015 North Select ??

Postby LostDog » Wed Dec 03, 2014 7:09 am

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a new twintip, mostly freeriding and weigh in at a solid 95kg's.

I'm secretly coveting the North Select 2015, but wonder it it's worth the cash one needs to drop to get it.
Can any of you that have ridden a Select please give me your take on it?

Dave

Hi I ride Selects since 2012. Now I have the 2013 and 2014.

2014 in 138cm. Huge pop and air; fast on the water, upwind riding very good, easy control above 30 knots and so on.

Can't think of anything negative. Straps are also very comfy. 2015 I did not ride yet.

Hope this helps a bit...

:bye:

Yeah they didn't do much in the way of drastic changes like the team and jamie got. Solid board to do a little of everything, with it really excelling at freeriding and hooked in freestyle. I loved the 2013 and 2014 select.
