Tried the fox 120 2 years ago in El Medano. I thought it was an OK freerider, but a bit sticky (not fully releasing) and kind of boring on really flat water (in the bay, with small waves, it was nice). Basically it provided a bit too much control and comfort, in conditions where it is not really needed. Maybe because of the pronounced V all the way to the back. The powerbox can be a limitation if you want to use a more high-end carbon slalom-fin. For the price I can think of better alternatives that are probably also more durable (not built by Cobra).
Unfortunately, I couldn't try it that day. The old version is pretty close to a freerace board. Maneuvers aren't that easy. But it's super fast. The Tabou Rocket is a bit easier to handle imo.
Simplification is something this sport needs. I would buy it.
Like the idea of the QR code to get set up info and advice. Looks like a great board.
I also wondered why nobody had this idea before :)
The graphics/paint scheme of the outgoing board are much better!

Looking more like a slalom board now ?
I think so. I couldn't surf it on the island. I would love to try it now to feel the difference
hi there, how do you compare this board to Tabout Rocket ? Pros, Cons ?

US-box is a no-go. But otherwise, lucky you to witness this. Nice info. Greeting from Torbole.
It’s a powerbox
