2017 Naish Monarch Twin Tip

Monarch
Pro Performance Freestyle
Sizes: 132 x 41, 135 x 41.5, 138 x 42, 142 x 42.5

The Monarch is designed for riders looking for a state-of-the-art design with no-compromise freestyle performance. It delivers very direct power for upwind drive and explosive freestyle pop on-demand.

The Monarch features defined edges for outstanding grip, powerful engineered flex and directional stability with deep channels in the tips and the rails. A lightweight basalt fiber construction delivers an incredible strength-to-weight ratio and uniquely responsive flex. The new radiated Carbon V construction provides outstanding reflex for increased pop when loading for huge jumps/maneuvers, while keeping the center section free of Carbon fiber, makes the board very comfortable to ride in all conditions.

Its 3D bottom shape, composed of beveled channel rails and steep quad tips, provides increased tracking and phenomenal edging. The further reduced concave in the center section also improves water entry and optimizes flex in between the rider’s feet.

Can someone explain, why there's such a big difference in length compared to the 2016/15/14... models and nothing mentioned on that point anywhere (including Naish resources) in the web? Should be explicated. That must have an impact (of any kind) on riding performance compared to last years models...
