::2007 JP X-Cite Ride 145 FWS::
WHAT WE LIKED: "Smooth, nose-high ride that ignores chop and is flat-out fast," said one expert tester. It also shined in the jibes and, for many testers, for its ability to rocket upwind and offer an exciting yet tame ride.
BUYER BEWARE: Some felt it suffered slightly in early planing; lightweights felt it was better suited for heavyweights.
BETTER THAN THE FLEET AT: Confidence builder: "Be brave and explore its top end," advised an expert.
BEST SUITS: Aggressive intermediate to expert riders who want a board to push them to the next level.
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: Lightest board of this fleet at 18 pounds.
