These North X-Ride are B quality boards and have something minor with the graphic, we have gone over a lot of these boards and have never found anything major. These North X-Ride maybe a slight dimples in the gloss finish, or a slight smudge, but that is all, very minor and hard to spot The North X-Ride 2010 is a true all-terrain machine. The North X-Ride has unique design features such as a full concave bottom, rounded rails, soft flex and special carving fins make the North X-Ride a dream board in rough or choppy conditions. The North 2010 X-Ride is an all terrain twin tip perfect for doing huge jumps, freestyle and power carves in the surf. The North X-Ride's aesthetically harmonic features and smooth ride still make it the most versatile board in the North Kiteboarding range. The North X-Ride new responsive centre flex concept allows for earlier planing while also dampening and absorbing the chop for an incredibly smooth feel. A refined, rounder rocker and slightly wider outline have further tightened North X-Ride's turning radius for venturing out into the surf and make it easy to find the release point for take-offs. The North X-Ride specially designed S-Bend fins gives the North 2010 X-Ride excellent upwind abilities, provide grip for high speed carves and allow you to hold your edge to the absolute limit for maximum pop and massive jumps. The X-Ride control is further enhanced by a wood sandwich construction and soft flex characteristics. The concave bottom in combination with the round rail gives you maximum grip and a smooth water flow off the edge, increasing control, performance and comfort. The soft flex and good absorption allow you to ride effortlessly through chop, while the new S-bend fins give you outstanding grip and acceleration allowing for big jumps, high speed turns and performance in waves you didn't think was possible with a twin tip. A great freestyle board, even in the toughest conditions, the North X-Ride 2010 makes riding easier and lets you focus on the tricks instead of trying to control the board.
