kine is awesome; ive ridden both on boat and i feel like the kine is more consistent with its pop, but the newton can be just as poppy but less consistent and the newton seems alot quicker to me than the kine
consistency is always good, how much quicker, speed is half the problem with me changing my setup, current board (2011 Ibex) is way to slow, hence why i was staying away from the hooke.
I picked up a Kine last month. The board rides great behind the boat.
I can not compare to the Newton, but the Kine is about the same speed as my Humanoid continuous rocker board and much faster than my old Watson, Lyman, or Witness.
