Hi all, I know this is a bit premature but the 09 Lunacy's are arriving shortly and I have noticed that there are already a few demo's and top riders already riding em.

I'm just wandering what size a 88kg guy should use, as I'm on a 132x41 Nobile 666 at the mo and notice that they're doing a similar size although the lunacy is goin to about 7cm wider at the tips Wink

First off how does your 666 feel? To much or not enough. In terms of pop, drive, and feel.

If you feel your over powered a lot and its hard to drive your edge or get over powered on your 666 then maybe the 29 is your choice. But if you not in overpowered conditions and feel you need that extra pop and a bit more surface area to stick your powered landings then the 32 will be the ticket.

I'm 77 kilos and ride pretty much powered up so the 29 is my choice for max pop and edge control. That 32 does have killer pop with those tip widths and rides fairly well in chop and swell.

If you want to put boots on them the 32 or 35 would be choice. Not sure if the 10 pack will be available for sale but any boot adapter plate should fit without to much hassle.

Thnaks for the advice SHYMAC, I think I'll be goin for the 132 as I dont suffer with the Nobile 132 and just need some extra pop and surfice area.

It's only that a lot of UK riders seem to be going for bigger board sizes lately and thought that the 135 might be the one to get.
