Absolute vs, Transcend

Does anyone know what changes were made to the 06 Absolute? The spec sheet changes seem very minimal; how does the new board ride?

And, is the new Absolute loose enough to perform spins in the flats or is the Transcend still allegedly the best for that?

I wouldn't want to give up a loose feel to go CWB
Any input would be great!!.

lol. you will not give up a loose feel to go cwb....ride the absolute finless, loose. Ride the marius finless, reallllly loose. Transcend, havent ridden it personally but friends who ride it daily say its loose when you want it to be, tracks fast as hell when you want it too, and all cwb boards have pop.

Machew, the absolute finless sounds what your looking for. It edges very good when on edge than when you want to play around in the flats and do slides and spins it releases like no other. I was doing ts 360's landing wrapped then I would let the boat unwind me and do a blind surface 360 and never caught a edge. You will find it a fun board. Out of all the boards I have rode I would say I am not looking nor hungry to try another. I will be staying on this on till the 07 comes out and yes JOE you can hold me to it.
