Difference in '04, '05, and '06 Absolute boards?

(ccraftskierfan)

Besides graphics, what (if any) differences are there in these CWB boards?

Yes, all three are different shapes. The 05 and 06 are nearly identical. The big change was from 04 to 05. SEARCH FUNCTION!!!!!

Did I mention the Search function?

In 05 the Absolute went through a major shape chance. 03 and 04 are nearly identical. 05 and 06 are identical except for graphics and the "Flex pattern" which just mean the top sheet is slightly diff.

The ride from 04 to 05 changed alot.

In 05 the board slowed down slightly becuase of incresed rocker. The board is also wider. They removed the stepped rails, and extended the molded fins, so the board rides tighter.

I personaly like the 04 which s no the Flame. But I like faster boards. Both pop fantastic and land soft.

I will say the 05 lands harder in my opinion, and as I recently switched back from the 05 to the 04 my ollie is twice as high, not sure why.

Much looser board, and I prefer the older shapes.
