Yes that's it. I know Ben Barger has one and I assume most of the rest of those Olympic weasels have them by now. There was an RSX at the Midwinters and it looks pretty cool, but like 'transition' boards of old, it seems like trying to do everything okay, produces something that doesn't do anything really well. It also seems kinda heavy. I'm pretty sure my Equipe would beat an RSX in 5 knots and any Formula-ish board would beat one in 8-15 knts. 20+ probably evens the field.
I wish I wanted one, because I love one-design racing, but I don't. It's the the same reason I don't want a Prodigy; it's just not that great. I hope I'm all wrong, but I think my Equipe XR is still an awesome ride.
Price 3000 Euro (close to $4k).
I don't now if they are available to the masses yet. The first production runs were committed solely to those campaigning for an Olympic spot.
Oh cool, i'll take two then !
I thought starboard had a board in the running also, have they actually chosen the RSX?
