Did O'Brien widen the Natural for '07?

Going off the Board Guide it looks as though they widened the 139 by about half a cm.

Just wanted confirmation about this or it was just a typo error.

Cheers

I am pretty sure its exactly the same.

Same kick ass board :-)

haha, would think so. Tossing up between this and the '07 Byerly though no one can really comment on the Byerly, it just looks darn good...

so those miniature increases in width and rocker are more than likely typos. I wouldn't have thought they'd tweak the molds so quickly as well.

Actually the increases in width & rocker are corrections...the mold did not change..

Mine will be here the first week of December, along with Argon bindings!

Good to hear it Cliff. I think you are going to like it. Did you get the 06 or the 07 also what about the bindings, 06 or 07?

The Natural is the most rediculously amazing board I have been on. When I let friends use mine I just gawk when I see them get away with stuff I know they never would on another board.

The only negative is that I thought I was pretty good until I let my friends use it and realized how much the board helped my riding. But I love it!

J,

I ordered 07 gear for both. I was going to get the 139 but decided to go with the 144 for softer landings.

Thanks Chris, my daughter got her Skyla set-up last weekend and is excited to check out the website.

Chris Got the dear in the Mail. LOOKS SICK!!! I am stocked on the cartel!

(cwb_fooguitarlz)

if you look at the boards on wakeworld reviews, it says that it is a little bit wider. ;]

Jeff,

As chris stated earlier in this post, thats because the dimensions listed on last years board were incorrect. So "on paper" this years board looks wider then last years, but in reality they are exactly the same. ;]

Andy,

How did Chris fit a DEER in the mail?? The Cartel is a very interesting board. It's super fast(faster then the Natural), pops good and lands really soft. I tried the 135 and hated it, then I rode the 141 and liked it much better. I really like the idea of the spine all the way through the board, it seems to help soften landings.
