right then im not the best on writting reveiws - but basically mines pink and the size is a 135x40, when i got it i wanted to go out straight away and ride it but like always no wind. But i love it. I don't know much about boards. bu this board is Fast, durable,has loads of "pop" and physically good looking too ! (in pink ) lol Its not too fast not like the 666 its basially a board that will allow you to have a good time out there. Its quite a flexible board in my opinion. But like most things u can't take my word so the best way is to go out there and test it out and im happy to lend mine out for 10minutes or so lol-
The only down fall of the board is that i find the binding quite uncomfortable im not sure if all bindings are the same but i can't seem to get my feet just right in the tightness... but they say your feet shrink once your in the water. so i will have to have some more plays once theres some wind !
Hope this helps- And your welcome to have a go !

If you would like some NSI ratchet bindings then let me know...they sound like they would solve your problem...loads of adjustment so will fit any feet. Once your feet are in you can crank them down to get the perfect fit. If you would like anymore info then drop me a pm

I bought myself a 2007 555 (145x41) a couple of weeks ago, and have been out on it 4 times since then, and have been massively impressed with it.

I haven't had a great deal of experience with other boards, but it totally wipes the floor with my previous drake147 and square one, which will be confined in the closet for ever more i think!

The main difference i've noticed is the upwind ability, it was always a struggle for me before, but I cant believe the difference, i can quite happily mess around, attempting tricks, and know i can still make the upwind ground again. This makes a great difference to the amount of fun I have on the water.
It also looks great, and seems to plane early, I've not really tried popping it, but its supposed to be very good at that too.

I agree with gorilla's comment on the footstraps, they do seem quite tricky to get right (which i haven't managed yet).
