----------///=========( Review )=========\\\----------

Read everything everyone said about the naturals 64 (the supernat. 63 is just like the old 64, just with a 1/4 cm trimmed off the nose and tail -- probably for marketing purposes), make the board significantly lighter, make it just as stable but even quicker, make it jump even better, and that is this board. It is a mako-shark; it can go 50mph AND hit any kind of turn you want it to the second before you even thought about turning. But it is the farthest thing from being twitchy you could imagine. And it is nice in the park which doesn't seem fair for a board that feels this "freeridey" I got on my brand new K2 recon 65 recently (yep, lots of new boards this year!), which felt great before I bought this board, and the Recon felt like a sketchy, flimsy toy -- eventhough it is longer and weighs a lot more. The only knocks? Only an average low-speed maneuverer -- better than the regular naturals though, and not bad -- just average. It only rides as well fakie as you would expect from a board with a very progressive sidecut. And the lifties drool on it every time you come through the line. Don't buy one -- I like being the only person of hill with this board. Plus they are mostly sold out this year anyway -- and only a handful of them were made.
